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.
