I won't lie when I say I suffered. In both the good and bad sense of the word.  Basically, I had this book in my hands a long time ago, but I didn't pay that much attention to it - which I did well to some extent - but now fate gave me the chance to actually read it. So let's start our journey, where the crawdads sing.

Kya was a very very brave and wonderful girl who really deserved to live, not to exist and not to survive, but to actually live. She really grew very close to my heart during the book and I suffered with her. She never deserved what she got, never.

Tate is my life, my light, my star.  At first I really loved him and liked him, but when he left Kya I couldn't get closer to him after that no matter how hard I tried.  I think a little part of me died with Kya when he left her. I can't tell you how happy I was when he came back and helped her, because he wasn't violent with her, he really tried to make things right.

I never loved Chase, after what turned out not even as much as a rat, because he himself was nothing more than that. 

Kya DID VERY RIGHT to kill him.

I owe Jupin', Mabel and Jodie my life.

I still haven't gotten over Jupin's death.

Jodie named his kids after his siblings just about killed me.

I understand Kya's mom, I really do.  I was very happy that I finally read a book in which don't romanticize abuse (khm Coollen Hoover), it's a very serious thing and you can't play with it. She did very well to leave their father there, even if she was sick of having to leave her children there.

The plot was very slow and for me boring in some places and the twist at the end was predictable, but all in all it was better than, for example, the night circus, but it was not even close to the standard of the witch's heart.

An average book, with an average event and an unusual protagonist.
