Star of the North by D.B. John

5.0

Wow. I feel emotionally drained after that rollercoaster of a book - certainly one of the best (if not the very best) books I've read this year. I think because of it's similarity to defector memoirs, it feels real, but the narrative is propelled by twists and suspense used to make the story more gripping and recognisable as a work of fiction. I really liked all of the main characters that were in this book (although Jenna was a bit bland), and so was heartbroken so many times. The ending was also perfect, in my honest opinion but I don't want to spoil anything... highly recommend!♡
