The emphasis that you're environment shapes you and that it does not diminish your value or intelligence is amazing.  There were times I got confused with the timeline jumping but when it converged it was a fascinating plotline unfolding. 

I absolutely love Kya, and the love she has for the marsh. The relationships Kya had transcending social constructs were great and it helped establish the interconnection we all have to each other. Tate was one of my favorite characters and I felt devastated that in the end, he was left alone.
