I absolutely adored this book. I’ve always wanted to read something about the Siege of Leningrad, and this book is fabulous. It really hit the spot for me, I had an excellent time reading this and would recommend it to all!

It’s rather heavy and serious at times, but has excellent pacing with some really smooth oscillations between heavy, dark, and serious, and cute, warm, and funny. I’d love to read more by David Benioff and am stoked by this first glimpse into his authorship!
