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.

I don’t know where to start with this book, the broad strokes sound like a fairy tale; a girl living amongst the wildlife alone in a swamp. 
Yet it has the hook of a murder mystery with a suspicious lack of evidence. 
It is also pleasantly detailed and informative about it’s setting, and the flora and fauna which inhabit it.
Mostly though, it is about our main character Kya, and how she survives in thick isolation. About every time she attempts a connection and hoping this time it will work out for her. 

I highly recommend this book, it is so unique, powerful and vividly portrayed.
