If I had a nickel for every time I read a book about a scientist who studied an animal so passionately that when given the chance, they transported their consciousness into said animal in the name of science and extinction, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

CW: graphic depictions of animal death and human death; capitalism and its consequences; exploitation
At times sentimental and infuriating, beautiful and disgusting; Ray Naylor creates a story that allows us not only to see through the eyes of those protecting or exploiting animals but also though the eyes of one who is now in the position to be the exploited animal.
I was invested the whole way through and though my preference is for less POVs every single one provided important context and shape to the overall story.
