I loved loved loved this book! it was a poignant and devastating depiction of war while also being a beautiful story of love and friendship. I really enjoyed the different forms through which the story was told. I found that there was so much humanity behind each of the characters and even though we didn’t spend long with many of them, I was still touched by the way the author wrote about them and their deaths. the parts I enjoyed less were in the prisoner camp, though I was still invested and appreciated the arrival of new characters. all in all, this is a book that is both beautifully written and incredibly bingeable.
