Beyond the Horizon

A Warm Blanket. Ok, so I'm ripping off a video game review I just read with that title for this review, but it fits. This book has exactly one feature that others of its type -WWII flygirl stories -released in the last year or so did not, and while that one feature winds up enhancing the story pretty dramatically, it can be a bit jarring at first due to mostly not having any time cues. The effect turns out to be mostly cool, as I personally came to see the fades in a very cinematic fashion. It just took a few chapters to pick up on what was happening. If you have read some of the other WWII flygirl stories this year, you'll enjoy this one. If you're new to this particular type of tale, this is still a solid entry in that line. It isn't overly new or revolutionary, but it is a solidly comforting warm blanket. Very much recommended.
