Contains Spoilers: Keep Reading?

For what it is, it's a pretty good read if you're interested in historical fiction taking place in WW2 times with a tiny touch of fantasy (though this fantastical aspect is not going to be bombastic). The characters each have their personalities, and the descriptions are quite vivid. However, some readers might find the pacing on the slow and boring side if you're not willing to get invested in it.

it was a good book. but the ending of the story was all clammed into a paragraph. I was like almost reaching the last pages, but there is still nothing about what happens to everyone in the end. and then finally when I reached the last page of the book, every thing has just been put into one paragraph, like she had a train to catch after writing the book or something.(no offense)
