Okay, this book has me gushing. McConaghy has a knack for creating a gorgeous world of dichotomy - gentle but violent, beautiful but dark, quiet but complex. I love her themes of naturalism and conservation. I felt plunged into the same world of Migrations, yet I enjoyed this one more due to the suspense building of the story. This checked so many boxes for what I love in a book. I would recommend noting the trigger warnings for this one, as there are lie some intense themes.
