You just reminded me that I have Code Name Verity sitting on my ebook reader and forgot to read it.

Also, the whole 'intense same-gender friendship where one character's textual love interest is the other's acceptably-gendered sibling, with lots of emphases on how very similar the siblings are in appearance and personality' is literally how they did homoerotic subtext in the 1860s, and I cannot take it seriously in something published in the twenty-first century.

That is a little off-putting (though I am perfectly willing to forgive it in a novel from past centuries).

Still, sounds like it's worth reading overall.

Re: plot twists and unreliable narrators, I am a few chapters into The Yellow Poppy and already going crazy with the number of characters with double identities, hints that characters have secrets that I don't know yet, and so on! :D
