This book was absolutely heart-wrenching. From beginning to end I was just filled with this sense of melancholy. This book is all about the Jewish experience in Europe. It talks about abandoned cemeteries and the Holocaust. It describes the communist regime and the desecration of monuments. This whole books serves as a testimony of what Jewish people have been treated like for centuries.
It was really hard to read at several points, because like I said, itโs just so sad. I really liked how it was written in verse, I thought that made it super impactful and I liked all of the interludes from the main bad guy and the presence of music throughout the story.
I thought the villain was absolutely terrifying. He was just so wicked, reading his point of view was terrifying. He served as a great metaphor. The inclusion of Slavic mythology was also fantastic!
Overall, I really loved this, but I did have some issues with the age gap and ghost romance stories kind of freak me out a little bit, but other than that, this story was top notch.
Iโve loved every book by this author and encourage everyone to pick them up.
