Okay, this was a very interesting book! I honestly didn't know what to expect, so there were a lot of surprises. I loved how the book begins with a young man who just wants to study but is forced to do what his father tells him. The theme of human supremacy/speciesism was strong throughout, and I really enjoy this topic in general already. I really liked being in this guy's head, despite the fact that he does meander a lot in the narrative and sometimes it's hard to remember what's happening in the "present." I'm excited to see where it goes as the series continues, and I'm soooo glad to have FINALLY started it!!!
