This Rebel Heart

“They accepted all the truths and all the lies and weighted them equally against each other. But some lies outweighed some truths. Some lies were so egregious that refusing to acknowledge them was akin to committing the crime over and over again, every day.”

This book brought to light a part of history I’ve never heard about before. The setting and circumstances were the best part of this novel for me. It was eye opening to learn about the Hungarian Revolution after WWII and I felt the author did a good job of putting us into that time. The pacing was slower but that’s what I expect when it comes to historical fiction novels. To me it felt authentic and the writing style allows you to feel all that was happening.

I found the relationship between Csilla, Tamas, and Azriel to be really interesting and something we don’t see often enough in YA of any genre. I think Polyamory is becoming more accepting in society and I thought that it was done well and tastefully.

Overall I enjoyed this story and would definitely pick up more of their books in the future.
