My favorite thing about A Snake Falls to Earth is that every character in this book was lovely. Other than the antagonist obviously, but the supporting characters and the protagonists all were good-hearted, and in that way it was an uplifting book. The design of the characters and my feelings about them have nothing to do with the plot or the purpose of the book, but every once in a while it is just nice to read a book where people aren’t deeply flawed and complicated. They are simply good. It’s refreshing.
There are a few intertwining stories within this book. From the Reflected World, we have Oli and friends who travel to the human world to try and save an endangered species of toad. In the human world, we have Nina, whose grandmother is in danger as a hurricane approaches her home. The two work together with help of their family and friends to save the people they love most.
It’s a story about risking everything to protect one another. It is a reminder of the damage that happens to the earth - by natural disasters but also by human hands. It is a reminder we all have a place in the great cycle of things... and I really appreciated that.
I feel ike Darcie Little Badger really set up the ending to have the possibility of sequels. I'm hoping to read more about Ollie's adventures!

I like the audiobook narrators, they did a good job overall. The story starts slowly, spending a long time with both main characters before they meet late in the book. Oli leaves home and meets the people who become his friends, then goes through a lot to help them. Nina is worried about her home on both a local and global level, and is growing in her awareness of how she can take action to protect it in big and small ways. The pacing feels deliberate, treating their meeting as an important thing that happens, but not a goal. They have lives before and after their brief intersection.
