Very heavy, death focused. 
I loved each of the characters but thought the general message of the book was a bit off. More info on that in spoiler:

I thought they were setting up a found family story but then it didn't matter to the characters (as in they didn't form a closer familial type bond with each other) until they discovered that they were actually related by blood.

At first it didn't make sense why are we following these exact people, later it clicked.
I was not a fan of humanized octopus sherlok-holming his way into people's lives. I would rather read a nonfiction about these amazing creatures than them being given thoughts and words.

I absolutely adored this book. It is written well, I didn't want to stop reading it, the characters are well developed, and who doesn't love a happy ending? It was a little predictable, especially after about mid-way through the story, but I did not mind at all. I enjoy reading thinking, "will what I thought be true?". It doesn't make the story less wonderful. This is 100% a comfort read, and I think the insights are profoundly deep.
