This book was so good!! It's a sort of environmentalist dystopia and it really reminded me of Kipo. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars is because the editor seems to have done kind of a poor job at, yknow, editing. The entire plot and world are so well-crafted, but the twists and turns could have been delivered better. There were also some errors in the interpunction and the book felt a bit rough over all. I would still recommend it though.

A beautiful book. The perfect read for anyone wanting to get cozy in a cabin retreat or similar.
Took off a star for the fat shaming. It's 2022, there's no excuses for constantly referring to a man who is fat as 'Dough Boy' or referencing his 'piggy eyes'. We get it, he's a bigger man who is also a baddie. His fatness is his body, not his personality. Let's stop body shaming people yeah?

Wow, this is truly a special book and unlike anything I have ever read before and likely ever will again. The sheer amount of passion and love for nature shines through ever page of this book and the author has done a wonderful job at creating such a moving story that is nestled somewhere between dystopian fiction and magical realism/ fantasy.
In truth, I think this book is quite niche in terms of its marketability however I urge you to pick it up if it sounds at all interesting to you. It has some really important messages and learnable lessons amounts the action and adventure of the story.
The characters are unique and have such charismatic and individual voices that they are instantly recognisable, and there is some queer representation in it as well.
I loved the strong messages of empathy, self development and family and thought the story itself was well paced and engaging without feeling rushed.
Definitely a pleasant experience.
