This was an okay book, there were a lot of things I liked, I enjoyed the descriptions of the marsh, the way science and ecology was included and the first part as well as the ending was great! I did however find the story dragging in the second part, especially the court scenes. I get why it was necessary but it didn’t need to be that long in my opinion and was a let down for the whole book. Overall an average book.

This book was sooo good! The writing style was fun and easy to read. It did start a little slow, but wasn't too bad, still interesting. I couldn't put it down and the descriptions and details in the writing were amazing! I would definitely re-read!

I can’t put into words how I feel after reading this. This is one of those books you really mourn finishing.

this book was quite an enjoyable read. the writing was engaging and descriptive, and was never a tedious read. i loved the depth given to kya's childhood, and also the slightly unexpected trajectory of her growth given her context. we love an underdog against all odds storyline. i was also in love with tate the whole time. therefore. why the big docking of stars in the rating? it all has to do with the end. 
it is so upsetting to me that justice was not actually served. if we seek to live in a world where our prerogative is justice, it just infuriates me that this was not served to kya. additionally, it just infuriates me how the lack of justice served is not painted in a negative light. we're just supposed to ACCEPT that she killed chase but only had to serve two months in jail for it? ridiculous.
