dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
- how can you be so cheerful?
- because i'm alive. because i'm walking through wilderness on a beautiful day.
the way jeff vandermeer weaves together sci-fi and meditations on nature and psychological horror and existential horror and the mundanity of daily routines and the tenderness of friendship and mystery and surrealism and romance....
gloria and saul. saul and charlie. the biologist and her husband. the biologist and her owl. gloria and whitby. gloria and her mother. gloria and grace. grace and her girlfriend. ghost bird and the biologist. ghost bird hugging john while he sleeps. saul wanting to ask charlie to dance. the veteran asking gloria to dance. okay. okay. okay.
THE LOVE WAS THERE. IT DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. IT DIDN'T SAVE ANYONE. THERE WERE JUST TOO MANY FORCES AGAINST IT. BUT IT STILL MATTERS THAT THE LOVE WAS THERE ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
what am i to say? that i do not miss him?

So dramatic. I liked it better than the second book but not enough that I want to read the fourth book that's gonna come out. I take back what I said in my review for the first book.
