Alright, first things first, that cover is awesome and that’s what made me get it in the first place, also the title, how promising does that sound?!

Okay, onto the good parts now. I learned quite a bit from this book. Tbh, I didn’t know New Zealand was such an exotic country, with so much wildlife conserved and protected like that, all the descriptions made me want to google some of the rare birds mentioned in this book. And the whole part about Shark cage diving was really interesting, possibly the best part in this whole book, I picked up a few facts about it all, and also the whale beaching. Cool!

The not so good part is, it is way too much detailed, like, seriously, I don’t want to know what objects did the characters pick out of their pockets, in what order, and in how many seconds and how their wrists moved, and which angle the eyes rolled and what thought accompanied them while they were at it! I might have exaggerated it a bit there, but really, I love details, but that was a bit too much at every turn and kinda threw me off of the real story. Also, a nitpick here, but the main character “jumped” at every opportune moment every so often, and I got bored, good thing she had brains, and asked all the right questions too! Another nitpick is, I kinda found the title a bit misleading, I think it was more about the flesh than the bones in this one!
But it’s really good if you’re looking for a gripping and well-detailed read, like a 3hr movie going on in your head.
