In my personal opinion, Corps of the Bare-Boned Plane was a terrible book that made no sense and was just random nonsense from different points of view.
ReplyDeleteDaughter of War on the other hand was an amazing story of love and death. I would definitly read it again.

Corps of the Bare-Boned Plane sounds like an intersting read. I like random things. Stuff that doesn't make sense makes the story just that much better. I can't wait to read it ^_^

Daughter of war was by far one of the best books I have read lately. It was full of information and I was pulled in right away

I enjoyed reading Daughters of War. It gave me some historical knowledge of the Armenian War, which quite frankly i knew nothing about or even that it existed. It was also interesting to learn abit about the Armenian and Turkish culture. However, I'm pretty sure I read the prequel beforehand......must've been way back in elementary school, and I remember wanting to read what happened to the characters and searching for that second book.....but i never found it till now. So haha i was really pleased to find out what happened to the characters, and that they have a happy ending. :)

When i was reading the Corps Of The Bare-Boned Plane i felt that the characters were really real because of their personalities. I loved the german house keeper and the uncle. But my favourite character was Meline.
