_basicbookworm 's review for:
The Forest of Vanishing Stars
by Kristin Harmel
Yona was kidnapped from her German parents and raised surviving off the Eastern European forests. Years later, she finds herself helping a group of Jews fleeing concentration camps, teaching them how to hide and survive int he forest as well.
This book was engaging and unlike other WWII historical fiction novels I have read before. There was an element of magic in the beginning that felt a little out of place and didn’t continue, but otherwise I loved this book. I felt all of the emotions: I was angry at some characters, I cried, I felt heartbroken and hopeful. I was so invested in these characters and their survival. The writing was stunning, and I could not put this one down.
