I loved the book and its scientific way of explaining what was going on. It starts slow in the first few chapters but once the chapter numbers hit double digits it begins to intrigue even more. The last few chapters of the book are where it’s at though. Most of the book is Noemí’s theories and hypotheses on what is going on in High Place but the last few chapters are when we are given actual answers as to what is going on.
