The audiobook was beautifully done, and were it not for the great narration, I may not have enjoyed this book as much as I did. It touched my heart to hear Manod’s story of education and exploration, though I do wish that development in her character was shown by her standing up for herself towards the end of the novel. Even still, such a phenomenal book!
Graphic: Animal death
Moderate: Gore, Death of parent, and Suicide
