This book is amazing! It defied my expectations every step of the way and was so cleverly built. The juxtaposition of the inhabitants of the green planet and their evolutions, problems, monumental moments in history and the few days in-between the human protagonist is awake is exquisite. It was mayhaps a bit annoying to end on a cliffhanger and have to "slog through" a not-as-interesting chapter, but mostly, both POVs were interesting enough to be glad to be able to go back to them.
