A review by maddiehansen
The Plant Messiah: Adventures in Search of the World’s Rarest Species by Carlos Magdalena

informative medium-paced

3.0

The narrative arc felt lacking there wasn’t a real connection between the locations/stories. Seemed torn between a field guide, memoir, and travel log. Was disappointed with the air of colonialism in the “we at Kew know how to do everything better” air especially when talking about Peru and the communities there.
