I enjoyed the setting of this book. The marsh was really beautifully described. 

The theme of loneliness was my favourite part of this book. Maybe the plot was a bit over the top in terms of how realistic it was, but I don’t think that matters. If you’ve ever felt utterly alone, or ever feared that everyone you love will eventually leave you, you will probably find that aspect of the story relatable. 

The big mystery wasn’t the best, I would have preferred a different ending but it was still ok. I kind of consider that just a side plot to the bigger story of Kya’s life.

I love the marsh as a setting and almost as a character. It provided rich descriptions and a useful plot tool. The dialogue didn’t always do it for me, but I do love Kya the girl-boss she is 🌾
