I enjoyed this book, this is the first dual timeline that I’ve actually finished in a while. The whole time I was reading it I was sad for Kya (I also couldn’t figure out if she was black or white- and ultimately had to Google it- she’s white- and saw that many other readers were confused by this themselves.)

Characters: character work was pretty good, I liked every character you’re supposed to like, and disliked the ones you’re supposed to not like. Each character felt real, and i could (apart from Kya) see them clearly in my minds eye.

Plot: i wasn’t a fan of the plot and the things that happened 

Writing style: the imagery was so beautiful, and reminded me of The Girl of the Limberlost.

See, If Kya was guilty, I wanted her to be sentenced. It left a bad feeling to be left with the knowledge that in the end justice wasn't served.
