Action adventure with social conscience & heart👩‍👧‍👦This story tempted me for 2 reasons: its author & its attempt to bring light to the damage the war in Ukraine has wreaked on its citizens as the Russian government pursues its goal of wiping out Ukrainian culture & identity. Although the actual characters are fictional, they represent a true horror of this Russian invasion: the kidnapping & indoctrination of Ukrainian children by Russian authorities. I found it an exciting, moving read.
