![]() This book pushes characters to their breaking points with a handful of them reacting in ways you might not expect. Sometimes they’re able to push those things deep down and ignore them, but it’s the heartbreaking moments when their feelings overtake them that shows us all just how much the war has affected them. With all of the things that they’ve seen and done, it comes as no surprise that the soldiers in this novel (both male and female) are all suffering from intense fear and hopelessness. While we’ve had two books to get to know all of these characters, their exhaustion and the increasing urgency for the war to end gives us readers even more nuanced insight into each and every one of them. Not only does it tackle some of the most well-known events of the war (most notably D-Day), but it also really digs in to the soldiers’ psyches and relationships. Purple Hearts is a superbly-written and fitting end to Michael Grant’s fantastic alternate history of World War II. ![]()
