4.5

4.5 stars rounded down for the sake of preserving 5 star ratings — This one took me a minute to get in to. But towards the middle things started ramping up! I loved falling in love with Kya’s character and story. The imagery was so vivid and beautiful. I found myself rooting for her until the end. The ending was peaceful and complete with just the right amount of a surprise.
