absolutely beautiful and immersive prose. i felt like i was really in the marsh in north carolina at times. kya was a very captivating main character but i wish we had had more of her life and coming of age as the starkness of the murder trial didn’t seem in keeping with the rest of the novel and ruined the atmosphere the prose created for me. also, why was an 18-year-old tate making sexual advances towards a 14/15 year old kya? it made me really uncomfortable. it also perpetuated some racist stereotypes so don’t recommend buying first hand. i was reminded of piranesi by susanna clarke  in terms of the nature description and the atmosphere at times so i recommend that too.

Chills. when i tell you i had chills reading this book………. ridiculous. amazing. i’m speechless. it’s been a long while since a book has left me feeling this way. the imagery and the personality and just everything about this book had me smiling, laughing, crying, hurting, and feeling so many more emotions.

the poetry felt quite forced at times - it didn't really make sense to me, although i did understand it more at the end of the book. still, kya reciting the poetry all the time just felt out of place to me. i'm personally not a fan of the writing style either: it feels chaotic at times, but not intentionally chaotic. some of the description was really nice though, and quite thought-provoking.
