Took me a while to get into it but it is such a well-written novel-can’t believe it’s a debut. Kya’s [the protagonist] life in the marsh brought vivid and captivating descriptions. She However drove me crazy with her predictable romantic advances which ultimately bore me to a degree where I was rolling my eyes enough, I feared they would remain at the back of my head but I digress. The random A.H. poetry exerts were a delight and ultimately Kya surprised me and I was given a deliciously satisfactory ending -licking my fingers as we speak.

In the beginning I found it hard to get back to, but as soon as the

the guy was found dead

and the past and the nearer past started to intertwine it was very capturing. Normally I don't like it when story lines jump, but in this case it was very well done, even the beginning part that I found less capturing was well set up to then be able to fully invested for the rest of the book, making you think "ooh maybe he done it!". I was afraid that we whold get a unsatisfying ending, and i some ways a maybenwas ,but it was perfectly in line with how She was!
