Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

dark informative tense fast-paced

5.0

I really loved the format and the way the narrative bounced between the different characters. It had a stream of consciousness feel. I found the refugee aspect impactful and loved the different backgrounds and viewpoints of the characters. I loved the variety of ages. The maritime aspect was also a big draw for me, and I appreciate how the author highlights lesser known events from the time period. I read this in one sitting, staying up until three in the morning, so it is safe to say I thoroughly enjoyed this.
