5.0

One of the best books I've read this year. A tense emotional story about coming to terms with the shortcomings of ourselves and those we love all while our protagonist attempts to survive inside a magnificent creature we are largely responsible with driving to extinction. This book touches on reconciliation, loss, resilience in the face of dire circumstances and the role we all play in protecting our precious earth. A must read!
