The novel focuses quite a bit on the beauty of the natural world, which weaves in well with the plot line. I thought the pacing of the plot was good, though more use of foreshadowing would have worked more powerfully. Also, the musings by the MC on evolutionary biology and human behaviour struck me as quite reductionist, and seemed to be a way of explaining away the characters’ actions without psychological depth or ambiguity. The interweaved poetry occasionally worked well, but more often felt a bit jarring.
Overall, if you don’t expect too much, it is a great “airport read”.

Growing up with Kya was a beautiful and sad journey all at the same time. She was so strong and overcame everything thrown at her but you couldn't help but think that she shouldn't have those things thrown at her to begin with.
Honestly the ending wrecked me. Because while I fully expected it, I didn't want to believe it.
This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster. If you can handle the content, I strongly recommend this read.

I liked the scenes with her lawyer, Tom. And her small circle of family she developed by the end. The ending of the book was pretty good.
