Kristina Hall's Reviews > Words on Fire

Characters: Audra was a great character. I enjoyed seeing her take on her parents' mission after their arrests.

Language: Clean.

Moral: The main theme of this book was the importance of books and a country's history/culture. This was shown well as the Lithuanian book carriers fought against the ban Russia had placed on Lithuanian books.

Plot: Lots of close calls, confrontations with the antagonists, and book smuggling kept the plot moving along well.

Romance: Clean. Just a hint of romance in the last few pages.

Writing: Jennifer Nielsen has a clear, fast-paced writing style that worked well for this story.

Overall: Words on Fire was an exciting read, and I'd recommend it to those who enjoy clean fiction, middle-grade books, historical fiction, and suspense novels.
