Book Review: The Summer War by Naomi Novik

  • Source: I received an advance copy of this book on NetGalley

  • My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (see my review on Goodreads)

I didn't even know The Summer War was coming out until I got a request to review it on NetGalley, and I couldn't resist an opportunity to read another story by Naomi Novik! I also didn't realize this was a novella until I started reading it and noticed how quickly I was moving through the ebook, lol. Nevertheless, this was such a pleasant surprise! I enjoy how novellas enfold you right into the action without much preamble, and The Summer War did just that. I got to learn about the Summerlings and this war and Celia all as her tale unfolded. I absolutely adore how much of a rich, emotional ride The Summer War created even in such a short amount of time, with some delightful and intense surprises along way. I would love to read more books set in this place and with these characters!
