"This book is just.... Wow. It has parts that are emotionally challenging to read yet some parts where you can't put the book down. As a historical fiction book it was pretty good. I don't know if I will ever reread it as it was a book that is at its best during the first read. <br/>Jennifer A. Nielson is amazing at connecting you with the characters and making you feel everything they are feeling. It is outstanding. <br/>This is an amazingly interesting and beautifully well written historical fiction novel that I really hope sparks interest to you. <br/>I recommend it to anyone 13+ who likes to read historical fiction. Like I said, it can be hard to read at times so you need to be sure you are a reader who is ready for that. I hope this review was helpful! Enjoy!"

"An amazing and thrilling story that I would recommend to anyone who wanted a good book from a young female perspective. It has such an amazing plot and it was one that I could not put down. I recommend that you be at somewhat of a mature age (I was 11 yet mature for my age lol) just because some of the topics can be hard for young readers. "
