This was a beautiful story about prejudice, self-reliance, love and the beauty in nature and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Kya’s story was so moving and it made me sad and happy all at once. It was a beautiful book!

I thought the book was pretty good for what it was worth, it kind of felt like I was reading a tv soap drama covered in detailed, nature-filled imagery. The plot was super interesting and I felt invested in seeing how Kya would develop, most other characters though didn't have as much depth. It was entertaining and easy to read, so I just took it as it was. Did anyone else think the author talked about nipples too much during any of the sex/sexual scenes??? lmao
Also, listened to this via audiobook and really wished I had just read it. Definitely didn't catch how the dialect of characters would vary.
