A review by pam2375
The Forest of Vanishing Stars by Kristin Harmel

5.0

I loved this book! This is Where The Crawdads Sing set during WWII and a bit of the same kind of magic that you would find in an Alice Hoffman novel! This book is filled with suspense, thrills, romance (maybe a bit too much for my taste) and so very much more.

You will spend almost the entire book surviving in the forests with Yona. You will learn how to survive the harshest of winter trying to evade the Germans and trying to stockpile enough to eat. But, we will know that the forest always provides. Then, you get to the passage of the title reveal, always my favorite jaw dropping part of any book and this one is spectacular!

Many thanks to Netgalley and Gallery Books for this advanced readers copy. This book is scheduled to release in July 2021.
