Wanted more octopus stuff!!
I didn’t feel connected to most of the characters, but I liked the underscoring of the story by science and research. The inter-species communication concept was cool- but again, I wish there was more development and description of the octopuses!

I thought there was maybe one too many subplots that really slowed down the narrative. But it was definitely interesting and thought provoking
