I really love how this author writes nature, it’s so descriptive and scientific it scratches my brain. This book helped explain a couple things like how area x started and before area x. It was honestly really sad in most aspects especially Sal and Gloria’s story. So many other crazy things were revealed like
how area x distorts time so 2 weeks outside it was 3 years for Grace inside area x, and how the biologist wrote that she had been there for 30 years and eventually became a monster. There’s still so many things that aren’t fully answered and I don’t think they will be.
My rating is a bit low because I found myself zoning out at some parts and felt it didn’t answer all my questions but other than that I enjoy this series.
