Mike Broderick's Reviews > The Paper Birds

Imagine if someone identified that most World War books have similar aspects including a cover with a woman’s back shown and that one of the only things women do in these books is to be a spy.
That person would look pretty smart when seeing this book come across our desks. Right, it’s been said before.
The one difference is, these women are Canadian spies.
There isn’t anything wrong with this book, it’s not terrible.
It’s just not great.
The author tried to have a bit too much going on to separate it from a war story…..the result is that it was a bit boring at times and dragged on.
I like the idea of female hero’s, but this one didn’t create a real strong female protagonist.
