Kids say this book is a mixed bag; while many readers praised it for its beautiful storytelling and strong, relatable characters, particularly the female protagonist, others found it excessively violent and boring, with detailed scenes of death that they felt were inappropriate for younger audiences. Overall, it appears to be most suited for older children and emphasizes themes of survival, courage, and the emotional depth of loss.
