A bite-sized reinvigoration of our connection to the earth and the natural reciprocal relationships we resist in the interest of market share. Robin Wall Kimmerer is at once asking more of us but in the compassionate correction of a well-practiced schoolteacher. Well worth revisiting on a regular basis.

Mostly I like the book. Weird and fast-paced, not sticking with a group or story for too long. However, I think it could’ve been trimmed in some places and expanded in others. I wanted more from some ideas and could’ve gone without others. I can see why it was shortlisted for the Mann Booker prize though. An interesting and thought-provoking read.

I gave this book a try after hearing it would scratch my Mass Effect itch. The world of the story certainly does and I appreciated learning the backstory of various species as humans joined the galaxy, but the writing is overwrought and clunky at times and often the characters have very bland, rote responses to things. Overall, I am interested in continuing the series but I hope the writing gets better.
