I know they can’t all have a happy ending but I was absolutely devastated by a particular major character’s ending and I felt like it was an injustice to the story as a whole 😞

Loved the ending, but the rest of the book moved pretty slowly, and the whole thing, like many historical fiction books, felt like it was glamorizing trauma and pain by putting characters in the worst situations and then making some deep message about it once they survived
