This was such an interesting read, it didn't tell me how to feel about it, but really let me form my own opinion, which I really liked. Kya, due to her isolation, seems such a weird person compared to what is "normal", but at the same time, she seems so much more "normal" than anyone else. She doesn't put up with the societal construct and it makes her such an interesting character to follow. I can't really put into words what this book does to you, just that I recommend!
