Cradles of the Reich

Heather Miller

We meet Gundi, who is very against Hitler and works against him alongside the Jews, Irma who is pretty much in the middle and can’t decide what she wants, and then Hilda who is extremely for Hitler and does just about anything she can to move up in rank. This book had tons of potential but felt extremely unfinished. All three of them had compelling stories to tell, and yet all three fell short, and we were left with tons more questions than answers. Does Gundi ever find Leo? Why does Irma give up so easily and just seem to accept her fate? In the beginning, she seemed like a much stronger woman. What happened to Hilda? I can’t even remember how her story ended.

I would’ve normally recommended this book as I usually really enjoy the Hitler-era books and learning more about what happened, but this book just didn’t deliver and I felt could’ve gone through a few more edits to clean up a few things left unanswered.

Thank you for this ARC that was generously provided by the publisher and author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
