This is an easy 5 stars for me, even as someone who doesn't necessarily like historical fictions. Turns out I only dislike historical fictions when the revolve (only) around men. This book is a stunning, heartfelt, and heartbreaking look inside the life of a veteran of war told through mystery that must be solved. Eve - as bitter and cold as she is - holds my heart in a vice grip, and I love her just as much as Charlotte, Fin and Alice. <Spoiler> It's been a long time since I've read a story with a happy ending, and with the events of the book, with Rose and Alice and Charlotte's brother and everyone else, I didn't dare hope that everyone would end happy. Eve's ending had me crying with joy on my commute to work. I'll be thinking about her for a long long time. </Spoiler>

Beginning was a bit slow for me but once it really begins to pick up, it does not stop. 
Both narratives blend together seamlessly in the final arc; everything comes full circle.
One of my favorite epilogues ever written; really pulled on the heart-strings.

Do Lili and Violette have more chemestry than Charlie and Finn even though I had no scene of the two fo them alone (or a scene of the two of them together at all that lasted longer than two pages). Yes. Damn, walls have more chemestry than thise two! Does the rest of the book absolutely makes up for that and makes me sure 5 stars is the right rating? Hell yes!

I absolutely love everything about this book. The tribute to such a brave, strong and admirable woman as Louise de Bettignies by including her in the book, letting every single reader know how brave she was. Louise de Bettignies is a true hero who deserves much more recognition, many more people knowing everything she did. Eve and her story, her journey to heal and come to peace with a past so dark, so cruel and so terryfing. Eve is one of the bravest characters I have ever had the chance to meet and I am so glad I did. Charlie (who could be so annoying at times) and her story of choosing to be herself and to make her choices and be happy instead of letting society tell her how she should live a life that is her own to live. Charlie has so much more deep than it seems at first sight. Her need to help others, to get redemption from events she couldn't have changed, because they were not her fault. 

I loved how Quinn used Rose and René, making them those ghosts they all chased, the ghosts that were keeping these two strong women from being happy. 

I love the ending of this book, although I don't agree with the ending given to René's character. And it's not just a "oh I liked the character and wished he had had a different ending". It's a it's not right he ended like that, because there's no justice and the whole book should have looked for justice. At the same time, it begs the question - would justice actually happen if things had been different?! Also, anyone who likes René is clearly needing therapy. Now.

I love everything about this book and specially thd absolutely gorgeous writing style that made descriptions so damn beautiful (and cruel sometimes) and made the whole book so beautiful.

Full review coming soon!
