That was a beautiful story, and I laughed and cried (a lot- like for hours on end) and smiled through it all. While this book may be about the struggles of war, I think its better described as small acts of joy and kindness keeping weary people from giving up hope. Maci really embodies that hope
honestly there are no words I say can say to do it any fraction of the justice it deserved
a criminally underrated book if there ever was one.

Quotes Sarah Book Dragon Liked
“We like to see our enemies as fairy-tale villains, thoroughly wicked. But Tata sees nuances. He sees people, not causes or countries.
It's the right way of looking at the world, I know. But unpopular.”

“Maybe bad people never believe they are bad,' I venture. 'While good people are always questioning their goodness. Maybe that's what keeps them good—the constant questioning.”

“The war didn’t spring on me all at once.
Instead, like a cat, it stalked me quietly.
There might have been a rustle of leaves, a glint of golden eye.
But like a mouse, I didn’t believe it was there until it pounced.”
