Absolutely adored this book. An emotional ride, delving into the perfect imperfections of being human. I loved how the author weaved the imagery of the nesting grounds and the expansive forest around them. A truly enjoyable read.

This book had me crying at the end. I loved it from the first couple of pages. I felt like I was going on a rollercoaster of emotions, and the plot had me turning page after page. I had this on both digital and audible formats. When I wasn't reading, I was listening to it. Highly recommend!

I thought it was interesting that Ursa was so smart; she used her imagination and love of astronomy to cope with trauma. Separating herself from her mom’s murder by create a second identity makes sense psychologically and it was an interesting twist. The ending was very satisfying. I was worried Ursa would end of with a foster family that wouldn’t understand her. I also enjoyed Jo and Gabe’s love story. It didn’t feel too rushed and awkward. Gabe’s complicated family secret seemed like a strange addition to the story at first but I realized it helped Jo and Gabe develop courage, empathy, and understanding for others.

I could not put it down! It was one of those books that I was thinking about throughout the day waiting to get back to reading it. I loved the characters and the unique plot. In some ways, it had some really predictable tropes (that I personally enjoy and find comforting), but in other ways was incredibly unique and unexpected. The way the author crafted Ursa’s story and approached the trauma she experienced blended with this very real sense of magic was beautiful.
