A review by isabellieb
Color Song by Victoria Strauss
5.0
Just finished reading this and I give it a full five-out-of-five stars. Definitely something I would go buy myself. Not only is it about art (which I'm totally into), it's also historical fiction--my favorite genre. There aren't a lot of young adult historical fiction books--or, at least, there aren't as many as dystopian or the realistic teenage crisis ones, like anything by John Green. Not that that's a bad thing, I just really love historical fiction.
This story isn't just about a girl learning to paint, it's about a girl showing that women are just as capable as men in a sexist world. A lesson that's always relevant and always needed. She creates drama with what she's doing, but she's also starting to make people change their ways and understand that every one is equal.
Color Song is a perfect combination of seriousness and romance, mixed with total empowerment--and not just for the ladies! Giulia's journey shows that if you really want something, if you throw yourself into it and don't give up, you can achieve almost anything.
