This book is indeed well written and takes you into another world fully. But boy is it a dark book. A lot of errors and obstacles. Way too dark for me. But still left me wanting to know what will happen next…

At the age of five, Ayla finds herself orphaned when an earthquake kills her family. 
After surviving in the wilderness for days, she is discovered by another Clan who take her in.
As Ayla grows up she struggles to conform to expectations of the Clan:  the prejudices, superstitions, distrust and hatred of her because she doesn't look or behave like one of them.
This was an interesting story but overlong on description and explanation in places.

Top tier world building and information overload!! Once you get into the thralls of the story, it hooks you. 

The MC is a source of inspiration and courage. 😌🤌🏻

Don't let anyone, define who are you and set your limits.
