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.

Listened to the audio bc I was scared reading it, but it's okay. I was spoiled by reading the reviews (my bad) but still liked it enough to finish it.
