the Milkweed Triptych - Ian Tregillis

Bitter Seeds (Book 1)

In this novel the Allied forces of WWII are aided by Warlocks and the Axis is aided by super-humans created by Nazi Scientists. The family dynamics are well executed on both sides of the war with characters you care about fighting each other. The author did an amazing job of drawing out the fictional story and the detail of real world history to add a gritty feel to the setting he put his characters in. Basically a well written fantasy that draws you in and leaves you wanting more. If you enjoy speculative fiction, I would recommend this novel.

8/10 (Fantasy / Alternate History)
