This book is compelling, keeping me on my toes the whole time! Kya and the other characters are lovable and generally well-developed, set within a fun, weaving plot line. My main critique is that often Kya’s dialogue feels unnatural for her character, too stilted for someone who is certainly brilliant but still shy and with limited human interaction experience.
