I absolutely loved this book! I have been a big fan of the previous two books, and this one is perfection. I was happy to be reunited with the returning characters, and the new additions to the cast one either loved or loved to hate. The author did a wonderful job bringing them all to life. As a wartime book, there was tragedy, but Pearce offset the sadness with lots of humor and optimism. I appreciated the positivity of people pitching in and taking care of each other in very challenging times. It was encouraging to see the goodness in people, and I found it a real "feel good" reading experience. I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to read an advance copy of the book thanks to the publisher and Netgalley. I highly recommend this book and the entire series, and I hope it won't be too long before the next book.
