The writing is so good, underlined a lot but the plot ain't it fam. The ending is so rushed too.

Parts 1 and 2 are great but 3 falters and brings it down as a whole. Re familiarize yourself with the other books as this is very much a companion piece

"That's how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live in its reality"

An incredible sci-fi tale that takes a look at mortality, ecology, and humans marks on the world around them. Amazing parallels between how we invade areas and a monstrous unknown that does the same. Excited for the trilogy.
