This was an incredibly written book that kept me wanting to continue reading. The description and story were very well written.

The nature writing and the first half of Kya's narrative, her coming-of-age, were my favorite parts. Kya's educational development requires some suspension of disbelief and the murder (sub?)plot is not particularly compelling.
