This book was really beautiful, I love Washburn’s prose, he really knows how to do a run on sentence perfectly and impactful. I also really enjoyed the varying perspectives, it really weaved the web of the Flores family’s attitudes and motivations. My favorite point of view was definitely Malia’s. The depiction of Hawaii, nature and mythology were amazing. The book had a few slow spots, but the ending was so poetic and really wrapped up the story nicely.
