Leitura rápida e gostosinha. O livro é em versos, e acho que isso ajudou muito a deixar a escrita mais bonita até nas frases mais simples.
This felt like a lovely wonderful and slightly scary fairy tale. The writing was beautiful and definitely made it feel like a fairytale. The downside was that the characters seemed a little flat and hard to connect to, but the writing made that little issue almost forgettable.
A lovely book that feels both contemporary and timeless. I loved the inclusion of music - which seems to make sense for Prague - and the information about Jewish cemeteries. I'm not sure I've ever thought about that angle of the Holocaust and it just adds another horror onto the horror of that time.
I received The Ghosts of Rose Hill as an ARC from NetGalley. I enjoy ghost stories and decided this would be perfect for Spooktober...and I was right.
Told in poetic passages, we follow the Ilana as she finds a forgotten cemetery, meets Benjamin and defeats evil. This is so much more than just a ghost story. It's a journey of a young girl, trying to find herself and in the process she becomes a savior and realizes her strength, courage and life is hers to command.
I sincerely appreciate the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. While a review wasn't expected, I have offered my opinion and these are my own thoughts.
