Writing was mid. 

Plot had potential, but it didn’t capture me. 
Character: eh. Potential but I got tired of them. 
Profundity: quit destroying the planet. 

I would have more details, but I forget to review it after I read it, and it’s apparently a bit forgettable.

The Canopy Keepers by Veronica G. Henry is a realistic fantasy fiction. Set in the future where Earth's green cover is depleting and the forests are disappearing, the trees are looking after each other with the help of the keepers in this book.

Syrah and Romelo are siblings, but in a tragic event, they are separated. Years later, Syrah comes to the same place as a fire chief. She starts experiencing something completely unbelievable and gets pulled into that other world of trees, the Keepers, and a power she is unaware of. But she needs to save the humans as well.

The premise and the message of this book are something that everyone needs to hear, read, and act on. I liked the book. However, I needed more in the story. I needed the backstories of the characters with more stories. I felt a disconnect that I could not explain while reading this book.

Thank you, 47North and Netgalley, for this book.

 
As a woman who was a firefighter until my brain tumor diagnosis in 2010, I thought I would love this story. I couldn't continue reading this. I stopped at page 70, 22%

Interesting premise and I enjoyed it though the pacing through the middle could have potentially been done better. Looking forward to reading more

This story brought me back to my younger years when we visited the sequoias.  My dad took a picture of me in front of General Sherman where he took multiple pictures so we could demonstrate the massiveness of the tree. It’s one of my favorite pictures.  I could see the trees in this book so clearly. Loved how the author wove in the trees as characters.
