I wish that I could give more than five stars because this book was extraordinary!
There is amazing continued world building from the previous books in the Dino-rift universe. I don’t care if you are 8 or 80, the dinosaurs, action, and adventure grab your attention and hold it until the very last page.
This novel had such heartwarming beauty as it tackled issues like grieving and PTSD. Though this is an action adventure novel, it weaves into the characters and the narrative so well the truth, happy and sad, that we face in our lives.
While reminding us that there are “first world problems”, this book is absolute fun and not something you can just put down and walk away from. I give this my highest recommendation: go, read it, and enjoy!
