I loved this! The setting in Sequoia National Park and a character who is a park ranger and another who is a firefighter, both working to preserve the park and fighting wildfires, was interesting in itself. But then the backstory and the bits of fantasy were a perfect addition. I enjoyed the idea that trees communicate. I read the same thing in The Overstory and found it intriguing. The underworld felt like it could almost be real. The only thing I didn’t care for were parts of the ending, particularly in regard to Syrah’s family. But I look forward to Part 2. I wish it was available now!

I really loved the premise of the book but I don’t think it had enough time to get everything across in a reader friendly way. I did think things popped up out of no where sometimes and the character interactions sometimes felt like there were no reason for them or unrealistic.

I did however love the concept and also loved reading a fantasy with a black lead!

I did not enjoy the author's non-veiled opinions about our currently world awkwardly inserted (note: I agreed with many of the opinions, but it was so jarring and didn't fit in the story), and the storyline became tedious for me to keep going. I would like to know how it wraps up, but I don't feel like continuing to make myself get through it. This one's not for me!
