I learned so much from this book. I sincerely appreciated the history and culture index at the end. The art was lovely but also harsh. This book was challenging to read because of the violent events depicted but I felt proud for Nisrin when she took a stance for herself and for her culture. There are too many feelings in my head and chest right now since I just finished the book. I can't articulate them all but this was a swift reminder to love and protect the diversity of people in this world.
