What would happen if the Second World War had another outcome? 
 How would the life be in a World ruled by Nazis? 
 Maybe something like this... 
 Yael was one of the million people that was sent into a concentration camp but she was the only one who managed to leave it alive. 
 If that doesn't intrigue you enough to pick this book up... then I don't know what will. 
 When in 1944 the train, filled with yet another load of people, stoped at the concentration camp, Yael was just 6 years old. She clung to her mother afraid of what was awaiting them once they got out of the train. 
 Even tho she was terrified she still managed to uphold her strenght when she faced the doctor who hand picked her as a lab rat for experimentation. 
 His goal was to change the appearance of anyone who didn't belong to the Arayan race. 
 As it tourned out he succeeded with it. 
 Hair got blonde. Eyes turned blue. 
 What the doctor didn't know whoever was that, the "poison" he injected Yael with gave her also the power of changing her appearance at will, making her some kind of shapeshifter. 
 (view spoiler)[That's how she managed to escape with the help of one of her friends. (hide spoiler)] 
 Once free, she joined the ressistence whom gave her the job to kill Hitler by impersonating one of the racers who competed in the Axis Tour. An annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. 
 The story jumps back and forth between Yael's life in the concentration camp and in the Axis Tour she's racing in as Adele Wolf. 
 It actually was the only book in which I didn't hate the back and forth time jump but loved it and anticipated of getting more contex of her life as a nazi prisoner. 
 Even tho her mission is to kill Hitler, we don't actually come across him that much. 
 The story focuses more on the race itself then on how the people are living in this World ruled by nazis. 
 We get some information and it is enough to get the idea of how it would be, but I wished it would focus more on it. 
 Still, I picked this book as my first read of 2017 because I knew that I would like it and I was proven right. 
 The flashbacks from the concentration camps gave me chills and made me tear up. 
 And the characters were all really likeable except of course the nazi party. 
 3/5 Stars because as I said I wished it was more focused on the people who managed to stay alive in the war instead of the Axis Tour. 
 Really underrated series.
