This was a haunting tale that evokes ghosts of the Holocaust as well as a storybook-esque villain. The writing style was a bit poetic. I loved the Prague setting and it reminded me a bit of The Devil's Arithmetic which I read in middle school. I kinda wish it delved more into the characters, but it was an easy read, especially for its recommended age range.
