I actually didn’t think I’d enjoy this after the first chapter and a half but damn I think it picks up at a really good pace. I wish we could have had more interaction scenes between the crew but overall I think this did an amazing job of making me care enough about the characters. I found myself physically reacting to moments and I don’t think I’ve had that reaction with my most recent readings. 

I’m not giving it 5 stars because I think I missed something and I think a reread would really solidify it’s rating. But I do think the story felt unique and did a great job of portraying, what I think, a realistic reaction to the conservation of nature.
