I was hoping I would enjoy this third book more than the first to, but alas, I think I liked this one the least. I only read it so I could finish out the trio. I have found all three to be almost fantastical which is unfortunate, as the premise and I am sure, the real life experiences would be compelling on their own. Unfortunately, I feel Heather Morris is in search of a book that can be made into a movie over writing novels that are closer to the true, real lived events. In my opinion, the books would be more palatable if she just wrote them as fiction, instead of tying them back to real Holocaust survivors. As far as the writing, I find it simplistic and the sisters didn't come across as very compelling. Whenever I have read a book that deals with concentration camp experiences, whether biographical or historical fiction, I have always felt a connection and empathy for the people experiencing this atrocity. I unfortunately do not feel this way with this trio of books as I don't feel the books were written in a way to make me feel those emotions. I guess I am not into this type of romance/action when it relates to WWII atrocities.
