I love how this book tells the story of life under ISIS rule. This is something that isn't widely understood or talked about in popular culture but this book could change that. The characters sound really developed and I can't wait to find out more about how he started the zoo and then cared for these animals during a war.

This book is giving me modern day The Zookeeper’s Wife vibes and it sounds like an empowering story that will stand the test of time. Also, the cover is gorgeous it's like an art piece. It instantly tells me what the book will be about. I love the contrast between the lion and the cityscape.
