This was a very unique book for me to read since I usually don't read books like this a lot, but I will say that I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I really enjoyed reading about Kya and everything that she went through and how that changed her as a person. I also really like the dual timeline throughout the book that shows Kya's early life (past) and the trial that is happening (present). However there were some things that I personally didn't like, I feel like the ending didn't really land for me, and that made a lot of what happened in the present feel wrong I guess, I just didn't like it.

Well written book, heartbreaking at times, hopeful at times; the ending is an interesting choice, probably divisive. Kya is a beautiful and complex character and, maybe most importantly, one of the most resilient female characters I have ever encountered in writing.
