I sat on this for 24 hours before writing the review. I don't have a lot of triggers, I can process things like a healthy adult, however this did bring up a lot of stuff. So to write a fair review I had to give my head some space.
Growing up with Kya was a beautiful and sad journey all at the same time. She was so strong and overcame everything thrown at her but you couldn't help but think that she shouldn't have those things thrown at her to begin with.
Honestly the ending wrecked me. Because while I fully expected it, I didn't want to believe it.I wanted to hold on to Kyas innocence.
This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster. If you can handle the content, I strongly recommend this read.
