The Book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel
3.0
3.5 Stars
The premise of this book was very intriguing, however I found myself very disappointed in the story as a whole. I felt the strongest parts of the book was telling the process of the forgers and how they were able to duplicate the documents and the way the children's identities were noted with their real names and the ones on their forged documents. I liked Eva, although she was extremely naïve. I was hoping for a better storyline for her and Remy, and the ending seemed unfinished and rushed. This had the potential to really explore the children and see that all the work they did was worth it by trying to find the children.
