I enjoyed the idea of this book, humans taking over animal territory for their own benefit. I did get a bit lost with the characters and their journey. I liked Caver, the main character, and I felt we got to understand his worries of the nature world being destroyed.

This book as very short, if it was longer, we would have got to have seen some background knowledge of the bears and their currently situation in nature. However, I like the idea of this series being about bears and it is very unique.

Being such a short book it was a very quick read and I think the author got their message across to the reader. It was a good start to the book and I am excited to see where the author takes it in the next.

This is a story like no other. It's from the POV of a bear; quite unique!

I think this story fits the world we live in now. The earth is not in it's best state and a lot of nature and wildlife is destroyed and killed by humans. I think this book totally fits that topic.

Some things were unclear to me, because they are written in the voice of the bear. He would also not know what some things are. It would've been nice if I were able to picture some things better in my head. The choice of words was also quite repetitive.

It was a sad story, a dark story. A story that kinda made me mad, because in this book bears are oppressed by humans. I'm not quite sure if I liked the story. But I also feel like this story wasn't written to be liked and enjoyed.
