Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton
3.0
adventurous challenging dark reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Most plants are actually pretty hard to kill. They’re living things. They want to live.

Kinda weird that all the characters felt very realistic except for Lemoine? He was too cartoonishly evil and maybe it was the point but it kinda fell flat imo. Also the ending was a bit disappointing.
