This story was so beautiful, and it’s so important that as the number of people who can tell first hand accounts are dwindling, the horrors of the holocaust are still be told and immortalised.

Apperently I am on a kick where I read books based on true stories. I swear I didn’t purposely do it. It just happened. I get a little crazy when I get to a library. I just see books and grab as many as I can. But unfortunately, this book was okay. Not one of the strongest in this series. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed it but it was just okay. 

I’ll start out with the strong points. I appreciate that this book is in the present tense. There aren’t a lot of books that do that and do it well, like this book. It makes you feel like you are right there with the main characters. I also enjoyed the tie-ins with the other characters from the first two books. Well, not tie-ins per se but they were mentioned in the book, which was fun to see. But don’t worry, you don’t have to read the first two to understand this one. They are only just briefly mentioned as the women knew them. 

There is a strong theme of family is everything in this book. Cibi is the definition of what it means to be a big sister and the sacrifices you make as the oldest. She certainly didn’t have to go with her sister to the camp but she did anyway because she loves her siblings. I related to Cibi as I am a big sister myself. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for my siblings. I will protect them at all costs.

While there certainly is a lot of emotion in this book, oftentimes the writing felt stilted. The characters talked very stiltedly and without any true emotion. I don't know if that is due to the translation or what. I know that sometimes emotions get lost in the translation from the native language to English. I felt so awful for the sisters and what happened to them in the camp and outside of it but the way this was written at times kind of took me out of it. 

Overall, this was a lovely addition to the series. I feel like this series could end here and that would be fine with me. Despite some of the complaints I had about this book, I still enjoyed it, and left a lasting impression on me. I can’t wait to see what else this author has in store for us.
