4.5

The ending of this book gave me chills. So good! I loved the story of Yona and her life long survival in the forest and how she used her skills to help Jews.
The only reason I'm giving this book 4.5 and not a full 5 is because the pace only started to pick up about halfway through the book. Other than that, this was such a captivating story! Kristin Harmel has such a way with words. I can't wait to read the rest of her books!
