I found it interesting in parts, but overall I liked it less, mostly due to a scary shift at one point. This was foreshadowed by the opening, but for a long time it is a rather nice juxtaposition of events. We follow a bird society in a land with traces of human civilisation but populated by animals. Here we get an adventurous little bird and her best friend, a wild boar, who along the way meet a talking mushroom aided by pollen. At the heart of it all is a sense of disenchantment and a search for a way forward, which is exploited to the full by the higher powers that appear in this volume. But the creepy zombies emerging from the lake are just the beginning. But the importance of knowing the past and brotherly love as lessons to be learnt are to be commended. But I'm just a bunny.
