First 5 stars in a while, such a powerful read. I loved Liesel, so much depth and such a well rounded character. I loved the narration by Death. Hans and Rosa were incredible characters too, I really admired them, there relationship, and their morals. Max was so sweet and I loved his relationship with Liesel. I liked seeing Liesel’s first crush feeling too. Everyone should read this book.
