This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. It explores a lot of topics which are still relevant and continue to be controversial. 

---

Content Warnings

Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Death, Gun violence, Slavery, Violence, Forced institutionalization, Blood, Injury/Injury detail

Minor: Confinement, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Suicidal thoughts, Kidnapping, Grief

It has a mild planet of the apes vibe but of the ocean. It is mysterious, thought provoking, and very well researched.

I wanted to really really love this, and the premise was great, but i had a hard time following it. i would like to try it again as a physical book instead of audio because i think i may like it more on round two

Needed the octopus situation to start sooner. Overall needed more cephalopods.

This is a book I believe in. This is a book I will always remember. This is a book that feels so real inside my mind. It is inspiring, hopeful and heartbreaking.
