Why on earth does this YA book start out with a torture scene? I get that's it technically the prologue and not the start of the book, but it's still the first thing I read. And although the creature being tortured is a tree-like-being and not human, I couldn't help but imagine a baby Groot being abused. I regret starting this book over breakfast because that's not how I wanted to start my day.

Oh lookie, she's adopted. Cue obsessive internal monologue about being betrayed by those she thought loved her.

Foreshadowing prediction: The repeated references to how much Tika's appearance differs from her family's must mean that she's not actually related to them and she has no idea of this.

J.K. Rowling gets away with this kind of thing in HP book 6 because you're already invested in the series but here... not so much.
