At the moment - I just finished this book less than 2 minutes ago - I find myself in a state of bittersweet awe. Tears have fallen. This story is a sad one, but also a fulfilled and emotionally full one. Much of this story is based on true events and the magnitude of those events cannot be passed by, nor should they ever be. This is a book I think every person should read. I believe it will be a reminder of what should never be forgotten as well as renewal of faith in humanity.

Wow... I knew this book was going to have hard moments but man I was NOT prepared for it. As in full on sobbing towards the end. What an amazing book. The writing was excellent and the duel story makes both heartbreaking and the best way to read.
My teensiest tiniest complaint is that Rimmer never wrapped up what happened to Alina's parents? I mean they most likely died but it's not 100 percent given...
I can't wait to read more of Rimmer's works.
