To be honest, I never imagined this book to be what it is. I'm both blown away and grateful that I picked this up and started reading it. The twists and turns, the sadness and love, the cruelty and happiness; I went through every emotion while reading this. I was angry at characters, happy for some, sad when the time came and satisfied when the book ended.
I don't know what else to say other than the fact that I think everyone should read this. This was my first historical fiction book and it. has. set. some. standards.
Edit: I can understand why some people are angry and didn't like the book because of it's inconsistencies, a few plot holes, and romanticized war story. I understand that some people are sticklers for consistencies, character placement, environment factors and how some characters are portrayed. For me, that is not the case and hence a positive review. For me these factor's weren't THAT annoying because I was focused more on the story and the anticipation.
Although reading other people's reviews have reminded me of some questions and inconsistencies that I wondered about while reading the book, and I'd like to change my stars from 5 to 4.5, there's no option to do that and I'd like to keep it that way.
