Grace's Ground War

This one was a struggle for me.

There was an early history dump about the lead's dad. I wasn't sure why I needed to know so much about a character who was only going to be in the prologue.

The majority of this book didn't add much to the series. It replayed, nearly word for word at times, the events of the previous stories (bridge explosion, capture of the gal now in the prison, coded letters, etc.).

Ruth had a disturbingly violent thought life when around German soldiers. This was very disturbing to me.

This series would have engaged me more easily as a single novel with multiple POVs but one fluid plot with no retelling of major plot points. They're all redundant by this point, and there are still three books to go.

There was a cliché of a Scotswoman's brogue rolling her r's. The brogue of Scotland is so much richer and nuanced than that suggests.

I admired the teamwork on display in this book. It was really great to see a Jewess was on the team in the midst of WWII. The fact that they were trying to stand up against tyranny was fantastic.
