This read was based entirely on the cover and then the premise sounded pretty good...but nah lol. The pidea of this book? Interesting. The details of the historical events and the terror these people lived through? It felt thorough and grim but I could appreciate the detail the author included so we could understand. The writing? It was lovely...for a while. Eventually, the story dragged on and the writing dropped off and some events me go "what???" Ultimately I just didn't care for this.
