This starts veeeeeerrryyyy slowly and really doesn’t get going until the last third. I enjoyed the ecological details and character development to a point - it was overly detailed. I felt the stereotypes were lazy: prejudice against Kya, Jumpin’ and his wife, the sheriff, the jock, the white villagers, etc. I also found it predictable. I’m surprised it was so popular.

Absolutely gorgeous storytelling and scenery. The reader would most definitely be able to distinguish the authors' love/knowledge of nature and animal behavior. I was so excited to pick up this book every time I would leave for my work commute. Highly recommend this novel to those seeking inner reflection about society, abandonment, wilderness and isolation, or anyone who loves swampy-marshy-salt-crust themes.

While there are mentions of many graphic themes, they aren't a part of the plot. However, there are scenes of the plot that actually include .
