Ich habe leider erst nach Beendigung des Buchs mitbekommen, dass die Autorin scheinbar in heftige Skandale verstrickt ist, deshalb lasse ich das jetzt wohl oder übel außen vor..

Es war sehr spannend, Kya in ihrem Leben zu begleiten, doch irgendwie hat etwas gefehlt. Viele Dinge blieben einfach unausgesprochen und als Leserin hatte ich manchmal das Gefühl, ich hab etwas verpasst.

Die Beziehung zu Jumpin, den sie später ja sogar als ihren Pa bezeichnet war ja gut aber wo war das alles versteckt? Für seine riesen Relevanz wird er nur sehr selten erwähnt. Genauso ging es mir beim Hass der Stadtbewohner gegen Kya, er kam einfach nicht rüber! Auch das Verhältnis von Kyas Vater zu ihr nach der guten Phase ist mir unklar geblieben

Ein wichtiges Pladoyer des Gerichtsprozesses hat mich stark an “To kill a mockingbird” erinnert. Alles in allem: Toll mal etwas in dem landschaftlichen Setting zu lesen, interessante Plottwists und berührende Momente - ob es dafür wirklich dieses Buch von genau dieser Autorin sein muss, hinterfrage ich einfach mal.
