I can see why this booked inspired an environmental revolution. Very informative. 

If I’d done better in high school chemistry, I would have understood some of the very scientific parts more, but that’s not the authors fault obviously lol. I will say, most of this felt pretty accessible.

I wanna be Orka when I grow up. 

Loved the story and the setting. The author did a really good job of creating and letting the reader explore the world without just info dumping. 

I’m excited to continue the series!

Ladies, if a guy ever tells you to stop saying “like” or “you know” or to stop cussing so much, tell him to fuck off. 

I really enjoyed this book. It was well researched and put together. I definitely learned a lot. I also very much appreciated that the author talks about and acknowledges the contributions that black, Latinx, and LGBTQIA+ communities have contributed to language throughout history.
