I don't think that this is a bad book by any means, and to an extent, I did enjoy it. I still feel comfortable giving it 3 stars, so that does mean a level of enjoyment. But I found it to be more interesting in the abstract, overall idea of the book sense. The actual contents of the book just didn't end up being as interesting, and was boring at times (particularly the sections set in the past, and especially the sections in the beginning that were set in the past, were boring).

However, this was a book that I kind of stepped out of my usual comfort zone to read, I don't usually partake in sci-fi/speculative fiction/dystopian fiction books and I could definitely see someone who is a huge fan of these genres enjoying this book more than I did.

In conclusion, it's good, but it just didn't hit the way I was hoping it would for me.

I did not want this book to end. I found the story to be thought-provoking, suspenseful, deeply moving, and just overall a unique and beautiful read. I loved the complicated characters, the shifting timelines, and the tragic love story, intertwined with a painful but wildly relevant environmental/climate change theme. This novel will stay with me for a long time, and I can’t wait to recommend it to others!

McConaghy managed to put pen to paper and pull out a deep sorrow I’ve held in my marrow for decades but never had the words to express. A deeply emotional read of humanity’s impact on the world whose center is a love letter to the animals and our relationship with them.
