I had put off reading this because I tend to be let down by the books that have a lot of hype around them, but this was an enjoyable read.
Slow start but picked up pace around half way through. The author really brought out the pain caused by abandonment and also the prejudices Kya was subject to.
The connection Kya had with the natural world around her was lovely to read.
