The author ended with a cliffhanger but it doesn’t really make me want to read the next one. If he had made the book longer and finished talking about how Sarney and Nightjohn taught in the pit school it would’ve been better. I wouldn’t recommend this book to someone unless they really liked books about history. My opinion on the movie is worse than the book. The only thing I liked about the movie is that Pawley got married and the slaves seem happier than described in the book.

Once we move ahead with the novel, the most enjoyable for me was the character build up
The page setup of the book was spaced out and divided into easily comprehensible paragraphs.

Every piece of the story that the author provided along the way added an element of deeper understanding, which resulted in a very meaningful end to the tale.
Like when Janina and Misha were hiding from the Jackboots, I never wanted to stop reading so I could find out what happened. Overall, this book was great and it taught me alot about what people were feeling throughout this horrible
Second it was a very good book. It was good mainly because it makes you like the characters more and more over time so when they die it makes you sad and it puts a lot of emotion into the book. That is good because a lot of books don 't have that. Those
