This was a very sad book, I don't know why I thought this was going to be a chilled adventure book with mild peril, because oh me oh my is this not it.
It was really harsh in places and I'll put some spoilers below so you can see what I mean.
shooting a baby monkey from the trees, hunting a tiger goes wrong and they shoot a child, death of the main character amongst other things. That ending. Fuuuuuck. Devastating.
