I could not put this book down, and the minute I was done I had to pick up the next book. It is heartbreaking, gut wrenching and an all consuming read. Reading a book from the prospective of a child’s POV living in horrific conditions, and not truly understanding the world around her made this book even more sinister. I can not wait to dive into book two.
