An enticing read with a unique concept. Semiosis plays with the First Contact storyline with a twist that plant life is the intelligent lifeform. Unlike like Little Shop of Horrors or the Drengrir from The High Republic, which are plant monsters that just want to eat people, the plant life in Semiosis is mischievous and contemplative. The plant's ways of thought and interaction with humans are well-written and honestly believable. The humans of the story are also very interesting though as we follow several generations of humans as they colonize the planet Pax, we don't get to know much time with one person. However, the generational element of the book is equally fascinating. We see the development of civilization and culture of the Pax humans from their first landing on the planet. The pros between each POV or logbook are also uniquely written for each character, making each character very distinct in their way of thinking and their actions.
