Book Review: When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin

 

When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin - 4 Stars 

For fans of historical WWII fiction, this is a must read. Sarah Sundin's storytelling is top notch, as usual. When Twilight Breaks transports you to the tumultuous world of 1938 Munich, where political tensions are at a boiling point and the shadows of war loom. 

We follow Evelyn Brand, an American foreign correspondent determined to uncover and report the truth about the Nazi regime, and Peter Lang, a graduate student working on his Ph.D in German studies. Evelyn's dedication to her work brings her face to face with the harsh realities of life under Nazi rule, while Peter's initial admiration for Germany's apparent resurgence leads him to a gradual, painful awakening about them. 

We see Evelyn and Peter work together and ultimately find themselves on a journey to safety. 

I really enjoyed the addition of characters from Until Leaves Fall in Paris in this one and seeing the romance between Evelyn and Peter grow. They were going through so much so quickly and seeing their connection in the last half of the book was beautiful.

The first half was a bit slow for me personally, but the last half was intense and I was invested - needing to know what happens next. It was certainly a page turner in the end as the plot gained momentum. 

The faith elements were nice to see as they relied on the Lord in many portions of the story.

Overall, highly recommend as a good Christian historical WWII fiction story.
