What a delightful book! I liked Tess's determination to become a better version of herself and to be the sort of person who people respected. I liked how she wanted to help find out who was sabotaging Yvette's French group's plans for freedom, and enjoyed the guessing that went on with that story, as she helps find the traitor(s) in the group and stop the leaking of info to Nazis.
The romance was great, too. I'm really picky over what I term a “great” romance, but this one is authentic and so sweet. The characters are realistic and make mistakes, but they aren't totally stupid, and they aren't stuck on salivating over each other's bodies.
There's also a great Christian message, and the characters are faithful in church attendance on Sundays and even discuss the meaning of Sabbath rest. Definitely Christian fiction.
I'm definitely going to miss reading books about the Avery family! And it's going to be quite hard to wait until next spring to read the new series Sundin is releasing.
