3 for some craft issues, but overall a good book. I'm not sure all of the emotional pulls were as earned as they could have been (a bit more showing and less telling would have been helpful, a few more moments of genuine family connection with her brother and adoptive parents would have helped).
Veronica G. Henry’s The Canopy Keepers delivers a magical climate fiction series opener that spares no feelings. The verdant imagery and sympathetic protagonist draw you into a contemporary fantasy world set in the near-future in which the Rhiza, protectors of the forest, are battling one another and humankind. Syrah Williams navigates extreme loss and explores whether the ends justify the means when it comes to survival – that of both humanity and nature. The poetic interludes from The Mother are striking, and the sprinkling of fated mates interactions leave the reader excited for the next installment in The Scorched Earth series. Powerful themes of family and environmentalism twine around one another in this unique and alluring tale. I suggest you have tissues on hand for several heart wrenching moments.

Not a fan of this author's writing style. It leans too heavily on sentence fragments, which is a huge pet peeve of mine.
The premise was intriguing, but I'm having trouble believing how the characters are acting and reacting.
