This book started out so strong, great characters ,interesting plot, and setting,I was loving it, and then... everything just changed. It got boring.I felt like the characters were lecturing each other and me for hours (listened to the audiobook), and when it came to actually battling enity it got all vague, and I'm not even exactly sure what happened. And I ended up being glad it was over.
This probably could have been a five-star star book if it was cut in half. I feel like the author just stalled out and didn't know where to go with things about halfway through.

I haven‘t read such a Good Book in a really Long time! The author REALLY did his research! It was so interesting and informative to read! I loved the characters and I loved the nature and environment aspect! The Book really sends an extremely Important message! We have to Save our planet and we have to protect the environment!

Una grandísima obra maestra de la ciencia ficción creada gracias a una muy rigurosa labor de documentación. Un libro que además de entretener, te enseña y te pone a pensar.
