This book......what to say. First off, it's a long read. But if you decide to start, please for the love of humanity finish it. It is heart wrenching, beautiful, horrifying, and I just LOVED IT. I've never read a Russian pov on WWII and it was so good. There are times throughout the book, I wanted to strangled a few characters, even murder them. But that makes this book so much better, because I was immersed into their world. I felt like I was right there with Alexander and Tatia, living through everything with them. I was unbelievably heart broken at the end, but it was the only ending possible in that situation. I get it, I still hate, but I get it.

I still have this book a 4 even though at some moments I hated it. Mostly a 4 because it challenged me. A book I had to finish but a book that at several points in the story I said to myself "Why am I reading this?". I wonder if the author was torn between a love story, a historical fiction or a 50 Shades of Grey story. I got bored at times and annoyed but I had to finish it because I wanted to know what happened at the end. I enjoyed the characters and I think I know where the author is going but I think she could have got us there a lot quicker. Will I read the next book in the series? Absolutely, because I am more hooked on the characters than ever now. I have higher expectations for the next book so I hope I am right!

Touching, within a very disturbing setting and time. I loved the main characters. Can't wait to read the rest if the trilogy!

This book is an amazing epic tale of romance and struggle. I thought it was excellent, but I rated it the way I did because I didn’t like any of the characters. Even our main couple. They were very real and flawed people and I think they were excellently written, but man did they annoy the heck out of me.

A refreshing read if you're tired of the typical romance book.
