I love the weaving of past and present while incorporating different perspectives. I would have liked some information about how much fact was included, but it was an entertaining read for sure.

The history was very faint in this historical fiction novel. The writing was disjointed and I throughly disliked one of the love stories. This was almost a 1 star for me, I didn’t like most of the characters. I’ve come to realize two things from this book: I detest southern accents in audiobooks and to never read another book written by 3 authors (too many cooks as they say).

I LOVED this book. It is so well done. The stories were so good it was hard to not skip ahead to the next section to continue with a character’s story. Team W knows how to tell stories and this was so good.

The characters had great depth but it also had a fantastic plot. And it makes me want to read more on the Lusitania.

Hodnocení 4,5/5✩
Tak tohle byl skutečně krásný příběh. Přiznám se, že podle toho, jak kniha v době svého vydání, svým způsobem zapadla, jsem to skutečně nečekala. Děj byl poutavý a zajímavý, možná ještě o to zajímavější, že se jednalo o ne až tak známou loď. Z mého pohledu, byla dobová linka pěkně vykreslená a ani ta současná, nijak nezaostávala. Jediným důvodem, proč nedávám této knize plné hodnocení je, že to si schovávám čistě pro knihy, které mě pohltí a nejsem schopná je vůbec odložit. U této knihy, i když byl příběh zajímavý, mě k sobě úplně nepřipoutaly postavy. Stále jsem měla pocit, že jsem přihlížející divák a ne součást příběhu. To, ale není zase až taková vada na kráse.
