Sepetys is 4 for 4 with me. I have yet to read one of hers that doesn't pull me in. She teaches history through character-driven fiction. This one focuses on the post Spanish Civil War era and life under Franco's fascist regime. Loved it!

Sharpeipup I think this was my favorite of her books. 4y

Johanna414 I loved this one! 4y

ninergrl6 This is the only one of hers I haven‘t read yet. There aren‘t enough hours in the day! Salt to the Sea is my favorite of the other three. 4y

I listened to this audiobook mostly at work. I saw the author speak at Texas Book Festival last October and enjoyed hearing about her research process for writing YA historical fiction.

I didn‘t know much about Franco and this period of Spanish history. I liked the look at the behind the scenes life of employees of fancy hotels. Also I was very interested in the descriptions of creating the costumes for bullfighters. Great characters too. 👍👍

erzascarletbookgasm I‘m putting this further up my tbr! 👍 5y

kspenmoll Nice review! 5y

Hooked_on_books I‘ve read one of hers on audio (Between Shades of Grey), which was incredible and devastating. But I shied away from this one since it‘s billed as romance and I don‘t tend to enjoy those. How romancy did you find it? 5y

Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books the romance is definitely the focus. But there‘s enough meat on the story‘s bones that I still enjoyed it. 5y

Hooked_on_books Yeah, I thought it might be. She‘s a good writer and can create a compelling story but I just think this one is outside my preference. Oh well, I‘ll wait for her next one! 5y

This is my first book that I've read by Leigh Bardugo, I througholy enjoyed it. This novel was very well written and it was suspenseful and amazing. Galaxy Stern is a complex, well developed character and one of my favorite new book characters of the year. I love her fearlessness and her sardonic humor.

Set during a turbulent time in Spanish history I knew little about. I found this a fascinating and highly interesting read. It‘s beautifully written and well researched, combining historical fact with fiction to make an absorbing and captivating tale with some believable and likeable characters. And the ending just ties it all up wonderfully! This is the first book I‘ve read by Ruta Sepetys and it won‘t be my last. Highly recommended.
