Book #2 in the “Orphan of War” series
An impossible journey
This is a gripping version of the Dutch Resistance and what they needed to do against the Nazis occupation in order not only to survive but to get their country back. This story reveals the determination as well as the courage those working behind the lines manifested for a long period of time. This tale also honours those brave people that stood against evil.
Although this second novel in the series we have just enough backstory to blend in, so no worries there. At center stage we have the resistance members: the main players are Nora, Christiaan and Lisa and Floris the Jew hunter portrayed with all his dilemmas. As we follow the paths of these characters the story flips from one character to the other showing their view and perspective on what there are experiencing. The dialogue and the interaction is what drive this story. It is very active and dramatic. Not a dull moment. This is a real page-turner.
In “They Bled Orange” we are introduced to the vicious side of the war where torture, murder, death are described in some details. This is a very engrossing story of a war-torn continent.
I received an Arc from “The Book Whisperer” via Netgalley for my thoughts
