This book is a really cool mix of environmentalism, the problem of communicating with both different species and ourselves, and the exploration of consciousness. I really really enjoyed it, and it definitely brought up a lot of things that I'll continue to think about for a while. I loved that the characters were all people of color, and that all of them had flaws that were explored in the book. I also liked the theme of conquering "indifference" for other people, other species, etc as our best, and maybe only, way forward.

As beautiful as this book is on the outside, it absolutely holds up upon reading!! An at-times over my head discussion of consciousness and its various forms with multiple perspectives following seemingly unconnected plots that come together at the enddddd?! Ugh. Love.
