A review by oceanwriter
Firebird by Elizabeth Wein

4.0

I always enjoy Elizabeth Wein’s books. Definitely different from the others I’ve read as it’s geared for young/dyslexic readers. It was certainly one of the more unique takes on the ‘lost princess Anastasia’ trope, though it was an interesting enough story that the ‘mystery’ wasn’t necessary. I mostly enjoyed reading a WWII story set inside the Soviet Union (and on the Soviet side). I wish books like this had been around (or offered) when I was a kid. I would have done a lot more reading growing up!
