An extremely creative look into the effects humans are having on the earth and  vision on possibilities to reverse the damage we’ve done. Despite being short and not having much time to know characters, their personalities shown through and made me feel like I knew them.

This book is a masterclass in reveal of information and concise storytelling. I am amazed at how much STORY way packed into these 98 pages and I was broken and rebuilt many times over

Reminiscent of Michael Crichton's works, this book is thrilling, philosophical, and perfectly crafted. You would think a book so short would leave you wanting, but this is truly a self contained story.  It is masterful how the author was able to fit so many unique characters into one 100 page story. And you get to learn about elephant conservation!!!

I picked up this book thinking it was it was going to manage to fit in every thing in the synopsis in such a tiny book and make a coherent story but it did and actually threw in a couple more threads and was pretty satisfying as a cohesive story. On the other hand it's very very heavy-handed in it's messaging to the point that I started to not be able to be in the story
