The descriptions of nature and the life of the protagonist is really vivid. I felt like I was there. It is difficult content but ultimately about the strength of the human spirit. I really liked the authors writing and the pacing of the first 75% of the novel. The last 25% was definitely interesting but the pacing changes a bit which I didn't love as much.

This was a beautiful story about prejudice, self-reliance, love and the beauty in nature and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kya’s story was so moving and it made me sad and happy all at once. It was a beautiful book!

establishing a plot and themes in 250 pages and turning it nonsensical in the last ~100 pages is certainly a choice
