Book Review…The Last Checkmate by Gabriella Saab Captured by the Gestapo, she is imprisoned in Auschwitz, but while her family is sent to their deaths, she is spared. Realizing her ability to play chess, the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, decides to use her to entertain the camp guards. However, once he tires of her, he has every intention of killing her. Maria vows to avenge the murder of her family, and orchestrate Fritzsch’s downfall. As she carries out her plan and the war nears its end, she challenges her former nemesis to one final game, certain to end in life or death, in failure or justice. If Maria can bear to face Fritzsch and her past one last time. The Last Checkmate is a beautifully written story with an inspiring main character and filled with courage and hope. There were some parts that were hard to read but I don't think there will be many people who read this book and not be filled with admiration for Maria! She is a strong and beautiful character to follow! I liked how the author weaved chess throughout the book. It was a unique twist! The story I'd fast paced and came together nicely. The writing is wonderful! As a reader you feel like you are there with Maria and can hear her thoughts loud and clear! If you're looking for an emotional read with some wonderful characters you'll enjoy this one! #TheLastCheckmate #GabriellaSaab #booksta #bookreview #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #historicalfiction #wwiibook #bookishpost #read #bookrecommendation #williammorrowbooks #readreadread #booksbooksbooks #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg9d4LPNp4d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
