This book is a tear jerking, but also very inspiring. They never give up and find ways to survive such a horrific fate that was handed to them. MUST READ!

4.0

The main character is a good person who finds himself compromising his morals to continue to live and save as many others as he can. I find this to make his character decidedly more lovable. The most of the other side characters weren’t developed well enough to really have me care if they died. Sone I genuinely was upset by, but a lot I didn’t feel the impact. I figured it was a style choice to show the impact of being surrounded by death. The book was filled with characters that would put Satan out of a job, and they were based on real people. But she also also shown a lot of humanity too. All in all it’s a beautiful book. </spoilers>

Moderate: Sexual violence and Sexual content

Minor: Sexual assault

The sexual violence is incredibly brief as is what I would consider the sexual assault scene. I would still use caution if any of that triggers you. It is on par with any other Holocaust/Shoah work. I wanted to give survivors of trauma a warning.
