John Mauro's review of Seraphina's Lament (The Bloodlands, #1)
5/5: Seraphina's Lament is a hauntingly sad fantasy loosely based on the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, which killed nearly 4 million innocent Ukrainians at the hands of the Soviet Union. Sarah Chorn considers an alternate way out for victims of famine, i.e., what might happen when people become so emaciated that they are essentially just skeletons, with nothing left but their overwhelming hunger. But what if this way out is just as horrifying as the famine itself? Seraphina's Lament gave me an emotional gut punch on the same level as R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War, which is also fantasy retelling...
