I really enjoyed this book, more than I thought I would based on reviews. I hesitated to start it having heard it was a slow start and a lot of people found it boring but I was very engaged the whole time. I thought the weakest part of the book was the ending, it wrapped up a little bit too concisely for my taste and I feel it would've been better left more open ended, maybe just ending after the trial. I also felt a lot of things that happened to Kya and things about her felt too unrealistic/whimsical/unbelievable... but it was a pretty and melancholy story that's definitely worth reading.
