This book is.... Poetic. Breathtaking. It invites you to look at nature and enjoy every little bit but also calls you out for romanticising it. It's unapologetic, heartfelt and magical, brutally real and funny at the same time. Each chapter is like a riddle to find out what perspective it is written out of, not just from the humans living in this region, but everyone and everything around them. The chapters are incredibly diverse but also coherent.
I started again to take notes, to give it the time it needs. The long list of names and constant perspective changes makes it hard to read casually, so readers should pick it up when they have enough space for the book to take root.
