mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Confusing read that did drag out but rushed the ending- did want to keep reading to find out the outcome bur disappointing ending. Some side characters not needed - liked how Rushkaem was linked to the island but Eniko side story was not that relevant

This was wonderful, I really like stories like this. I love to read about humans thinking about being human. I loved the mystery behind the octopi. I also love the whole greedy corporations trying to rule the world and yet there is still hope.

Hard to give this a star review since I liked the concept of the world presented but it gave me too few octopuses until the end. Give me more tentacles when your cover has tentacles.
