Review:
This was my first time reading this book by Markus even though it's been on My To Read List for awhile so I wasnt sure what to expect but for the most part I did like it just wish it wasn't so slow starting and wish the chapters weren't so long 😅 (I know I'm picky).
The Characters were interesting to read about. I'm not sure which characters I liked since they all seemed enjoyable.
The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like I was actually in 1939 Germany while reading especially when the scenery was described.
Overall for me an OK Historical Fiction about a Girl whose accused of stealing Books from the Nazis!!
I will read more by Markus in the future I just hope his other books arent as slow and long as this one was.
