Daughters of the Night Sky

I've realized over the past year that I'm inexplicably drawn to books about aviation (bonus points if it's set in WWII). I've read Aimie K. Runyan's book Across The Winding River and enjoyed it, so I was happy to see she wrote this one as well (something I only realized after I started reading). Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy Daughters of the Night Sky nearly as much. Things happened way too fast, especially Katya becoming an aviator and then her relationship with Vanya in nearly the same breath. Most of the book kept this pace and I couldn't connect with the characters or situations at all. On top of this, some lines and attitudes were unrealistic being set in the Soviet Union (and in the service in general). By the end, I was skimming it. I just couldn't take it seriously.

All of that said, I'm not deterred from reading more from this author in the future. I think this would have been better with a slower pace and more research. And the cover is gorgeous!
