Historical 4-/5
Osla and two friends work at Bletchley Park during World War II breaking codes and managing their love lives and relationships with others—and hunting down a spy. I was a bit disappointed with this book because I so adored The Alice Network, and this one, though expertly written, felt unfocussed. The spy plot was too thin and seemed artificially propped up by Beth’s unfounded incarceration for madness and an unreasonable vendetta sparked by Mab. Altogether, there was a lot of cool stuff about how codes were broken at Bletchley, and a lot of time spent on girls living their lives, but not a lot of story.
