Luring him was as easy
As flashing valentines.
But like a lady firefly
They hid a secret call to die.
A final touch,
Unfinished;
The last step, a trap.
Down, down he falls,
His eyes still holding mine
Until they see another world.
I saw them change.
First a question,
Then an answer,
Finally an end.
And love itself passing
To whatever it was before it began. A.H.
-I always believed that she killed him. And he deserved it from the very start. I am so satisfied

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 includehereforthefunofit's review

i was most intrigued by the beginning of her life. i would have preferred much more of that mundane description rather than the narrative being overtaken by her relationships with men. consequently, the book lost steam for me in the centre, but the court aspect rejuvenated me a bit. it's an odd choice i think, but i definitely didn't hate it.
i certainly did not like the notlikeothergirlsification of kya. of course, she wouldn't be like other girls. girlhood is due to socialisation, which she did not have much of. however, the constant reference to it from the male perspective made me think (read: know) that that's not how the author meant it. kya's not like other girls, she likes birds. and that's supposed to mean something to me. it didn't. i also DEFINITELY did not like tate and his and kya's relationship for reasons i think should be obvious, although i don't see many comments about it. he's not noble. he's weird.
despite both sides, the book didn't have much impact on me. neither positive nor negative; hence, the rating.
back to my earlier question...is this not to kill a mockingbird with leaves?
