I don't think that this is a bad book by any means, and to an extent, I did enjoy it. I still feel comfortable giving it 3 stars, so that does mean a level of enjoyment. But I found it to be more interesting in the abstract, overall idea of the book sense. The actual contents of the book just didn't end up being as interesting, and was boring at times (particularly the sections set in the past, and especially the sections in the beginning that were set in the past, were boring).

However, this was a book that I kind of stepped out of my usual comfort zone to read, I don't usually partake in sci-fi/speculative fiction/dystopian fiction books and I could definitely see someone who is a huge fan of these genres enjoying this book more than I did.

In conclusion, it's good, but it just didn't hit the way I was hoping it would for me.

My existential dread at living in a world where 80% of animal species have gone extinct is through the roof.
But it was still worth reading this book.

I was floored by this book. I still am. It takes a lot for me to give 5 stars, and I hardly want to say anything else about this book because no short recap could possibly do it justice. I want to cry but haven’t managed to yet. I’m sure the tears will come. An absolutely stunning piece of fiction.

This beautiful and sad odyssey of one woman's journey as she follows the last migration of the Arctic Turns in a world facing the disastrous effects of climate change and greed is a must read. Franny is a bird lover but, birds are basically extinct due to global warming and the government's lack of concern with hunting and overfishing. She is on a mission to follow the last of the Arctic Terns, a bird that migrates from pole to pole. She joins a ragtag crew on their fishing boat with promises of a catch they have long searched for. As Franny and the crew journey with the birds, the reader journeys through Frannys childhood, her married life, and what led her to hop on a boat and follow the terns. This novel is a beautifully written picture of the risks of global warming framing one of the most gut wrenching side romances i've ever read. Franny is a complicated and fearless free spirit who works to fulfill her dreams at any cost. She's strong, determined, a tad delusional, and a fantastic character. Niall, her husband, is a dreamboat. No spoilers obviously, but that man is a catch and almost every time he spoke I was practically swooning! In addition, all of the side characters are amazingly complex as well! Even Nialls mom, who has like maybe two chapters? From Ennis, the gambling captain to Lèa the French engineer, the entire crew has a complicated backstory, development, and dialogue. Its amazing that this whole book is less than 300 pages. It packs a punch! I wish I could read this again for the first time.
