I love the marsh as a setting and almost as a character. It provided rich descriptions and a useful plot tool. The dialogue didn’t always do it for me, but I do love Kya the girl-boss she is 🌾

Probably one of the best books I’ve ever read. I cried to many times to count. I read it months ago and still think about it on a daily basis. It was heartbreaking and emotional. Overall I recommend and would kill to read it for the first time again

Love, love, loved this book from start to finish. I seriously never wanted it to end and would’ve followed those characters through an entire series. The narrator did a great job as well.

I had put off reading this because I tend to be let down by the books that have a lot of hype around them, but this was an enjoyable read.

Slow start but picked up pace around half way through.  The author really brought out the pain caused by abandonment and also the prejudices Kya was subject to.

The connection Kya had with the natural world around her was lovely to read.
