Overall, an enjoyable read about a girl brought up in a Nature-worshipping cult, but for me the intense and creepy set-up never quite reached a satisfying climax. Although I was happily reading along from beginning to end, in retrospect I feel a bit disappointed. The secrets revealed were earth-shattering, but the writing was somehow a tad distant and unemotional. On a practical level, I was repeatedly confused between the adult male characters and struggled to understand why the main characters - who eventually were all convinced they wanted to escape - couldn't simply walk away. Good, but not great.
