What a Journey!

This was such an interesting story about the books main character, Kya. It was at times an emotional read but I def enjoyed it. The ending left with a big shocker but also left me smiling!

I know many loved this book but it just wasn't for me. Beautiful description but it felt as though the setting was the main character in the novel. Not much dialogue or character development. I can see why many liked it but it left me unfeeling for any of the characters other than Jumpin. However it wouldn't do for us all to like the same things and I can see the appeal for others.
