The Black Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey, Larry Dixon

4.25

I enjoyed reading this book and I liked that the main storyline followed multiple individuals and each one had growth over time and over the period of the book. I'm really looking forward to reading the other books in this trilogy to see where the story goes!
Gaia Wakes: Earth's Emergent Consciousness in an Age of Environmental Devastation by Topher McDougal

3.25

An interesting book and concept, I struggled a bit reading this however, and I think the audience for this is more academic. Also, the watermark kept making it hard to actually read some of the text, so that definitely took away from my ease of understanding. 3.25/5
Sand, Snow, and Stardust: How Us Military Engineers Conquered Extreme Environments by GRETCHEN. HEEFNER

5.0

This was a really interesting book! I hadn't really given much thought to environments and what that would mean and so I found this book to be really engaging. I like how the book was organized (exactly how it was named!) and the inclusion of the pictures throughout gave some interesting context to the writing. Heefner's writing itself was also really well done, and I continually found myself taking notes as I learned new things.

This was an interesting, if dark story that reminded me a lot of my own father. I wish that this book was both longer and shorter, and I am not sure how to describe my feelings on this book.

It took me longer to get into this book than the first one, and I think because the actual action also took a bit to get into. I really enjoyed this book though!

I loved this book! I think it was such a cool plot, worldbuilding and the characters. I really enjoyed the mulan-esq inspiration, but found that this book stands on its own outside of that mythology.

This book hit me hard, then harder towards the end. I’, really glad I got to read this book. I loved both the memoir from the author and the other stories from women who also don’t have children for a variety of reasons.
