Book Review of Code Name Verity (Young Pilots, Bk 1)

Code Name Verity (Young Pilots, Bk 1)

I'm not generally a fan of war novels, but this definitely held my attention.

It is very cleverly written. Not so much so that it's like "Liar" by Holly Black where I got irritated not knowing if I could trust anything the protagonist said, but that could be partially because, in that one, the protagonist directly mocks the reader and there's obviously a point to everything in "Code Name Verity".

I kept reading mini-reviews that said that there was a twist; I'm not sure if I figured out which part they were talking about, but my guess going in was definitely off!
