This is probably the best book I’ve read this year. It is incredibly dark and though I should have expected this from a book set in Nazi Germany, I didn’t. There are horrors mentioned in this book that I don’t want to imagine, but the writing is so good that it is impossible not to. The character of Sarah was interesting and conflicting. I thought her inner turmoil between being what she needed to be vs who she was was very interesting. Action was well written, the characters were interesting and I was wholly invested in Sarah’s story. I look forward to reading the second book.
