reminds me of assassin's blade - sarah j. maas.
so much unnecessary harshness in the story line, annoying optimism and easily moving on from disturbing storylines. making it seem like the labor camp and leaving those girls behind isn't a big deal, women reading literature or talking back to men, let alone brothers is infuriating. again, the poor poor mother. i feel so bad for her. too much preaching in politics!

this is NOT a children's book. This is so harsh and upsetting. telling your own daughter you would rather see her get executed, a labor camp for girls ages 8-19, starvation, dunking girls in a well as punishment, reminds me of KKK, talks about whippings, etc. horrible book, i would never give any child this to read. such horrible language and circumstances. the poor mother, horrible men, just a horrible heinous life.
