I really loved the first part, and had the rest of the book been like it, I'd probably have given this at least 4.5 stars. Still not bad, all the nature stuff was mind-blowingly incredible, but some of the (POC) characters were pretty stereotypical and I didn't really like how all their stories intertwined in the second half.

A very densely packed book, because the descriptions are so vivid you have to read every word to truly get this book. One of the most reflective and thoughtful books I’ve read. Truly an experience. I imagine this book will be on my mind for years to come. A true future classic!
