A review by meagan_young
Ashes in the Snow by Ruta Sepetys

5.0

I’m usually not one for historical fiction, but I loved it. Very reminiscent of reading The Book Thief, but about Russia and art instead of Germany and books. I really wish that the story felt more complete at the ending, with rescue or a glimpse into their lives afterward, but that’s not what this was written for. Between the epilogue and author’s note I felt like it still ended with a lot of hope and a beautiful call to remember history and the power of love in all situations.
