MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES! Run!!! Don’t walk!!! Such a GOOD BOOK!!!
In a more serious review, this book was amazing. I was shocked that it touched so deeply on spiritual and childhood abuse. Praise God for how Sarah graciously writes on that topic. The romance was great, but the growth of the characters and the spiritual aspects were so good and rich. Loved every moment!

This is a great finale to the Wings of the Nightengales series. I loved learning about Kay and finally understanding what had happened to her in her past. Roger was a fun character to get to know and I loved watching them find their way. The story had some very exciting points and kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. I do wish we'd had a little more story to what happened to Vera and Alice but other than that this story was pretty much perfect.

A really good ending to a really good trilogy of books. I enjoy historical Christian fiction very much, especially those with happy endings and overlapping characters, so this series really was quite enjoyable for me :)

4.5, to be honest, but I can't bring myself to give a full 5 stars, because it didn't make me cry. However, I did finish it in one sitting (or close enough) and I really enjoyed it. It was a very nice conclusion to the series.

Too much preaching there - and I'm not a Christian.
I felt that it was also rather too long. Oh, and it lacked the true WWII spirit. Sorely.

Every summer, I eagerly anticipate the day when Sarah Sundin's latest novel will arrive in my mailbox. As I open the book, I'm transported back to World War II, and I find myself captivated from the beginning of the novel to the end. That's exactly what happened when I picked up In Perfect Time. I knew from past experience with author Sarah Sundin's novels that I would most likely love this one, too ... and I did!
In Perfect Time is flirtatious nurse Kay and prankster pilot Roger's story. I "knew" these two from the previous two books in this series, so it was fun to have them come to the forefront in In Perfect Time. Both Kay and Roger change dramatically through the novel, but the changes feel organic, not forced. Kay's journey to faith is very touching, especially in light of her background. (This also served as a reminder to me not to judge people—you never know what someone may have gone through to make her the way she is.) The romance is very sweet, if a bit frustrating at times. I often wanted to shake some sense into Roger, though I get why he acted as he did. And there is a great resolution to the romantic conflict, complete with a grand gesture that may have brought tears to my eyes.
I also loved seeing Mellie and Tom (With Every Letter) and Georgie and Hutch (On Distant Shores) again, and it was great to watch their stories resolve, as well. (Don't worry, though—while In Perfect Time is the third book in the Wings of the Nightingale series, you could easily read it without having read the previous novels. That said, you really should read the whole series because it's simply delightful!)
Taking place in Italy, India, France, and the United States, this story spans the globe as it covers the final years of World War II. While I'm sad to see the series end, I'm eagerly anticipating Sundin's new Waves of Freedom series—the first novel releases next summer!

Words cannot describe how much I loved this book.
I'm not even kidding. I tried writing a decent review but I can't because every single thing about this book is so amazing.

A few possible triggers: attempted rape, familial psychological abuse, air warfare.
I really enjoyed this. The characters are very likable. Sundin has a great use of sensory description which is very evocative. Her religious allusions stay on the right side of trite.
The only issue I had was with the characters relationship to their faith. They are very inward looking - we only see references to God in terms of their needs and relationships - and God is often more an oracle or fortune teller than someone they relate to. Often, not always. The characters also have a strange way of choosing when to pay about their actions - there were a number of times it seemed to me that prayer would have been appropriate. But how much of this is a failing, and how much is a realistic reflection of how we relate to God?
