This book had all my favourite things: wit and cleverness, interesting characters, adventure, mystery, and a side of romance (well, maybe a sprinkling). And I couldn't help but feel comforted by the late night tea and toast in the kitchen post-adventure. It was quaint and lovely.

I absolutely loved this story (and it's sequel)! While it is a departure from Ali Hazelwood's usual contemporary STEM romances, she brought her A-game to this series as well. I was captivated by the rich world-building and immersive feel from page one. We are sucked into a world with vampires, weres, and humans and their centuries-long war for dominance, all told through the perspective a vampire who feels misunderstood and alone. I loved the character Misery, who will do anything to find her best friend, the sister of her heart, including marry an Alpha were she has never met so she can search in his territory. For anyone who loves fantasy, romance, or who enjoys great love stories of any genre, this book is for you.

Currently, my interests include consciousness, the core of why we live and experience joy. Consciousness expands to include the evolution of the universe, a broad enough topic to include the future (and past) of mankind, the ways in which time, evolution, and societies have shaped our minds through language and culture, and why we find ourselves in such peril today. These questions include ethical challenges. What are our responsibilities toward the earth and our fellow creatures? In what ways might today’s problems influence mankind’s future? How can we bend our vast, chaotic social landscape toward prosocial values and behaviors, which may be our only hope for survival?
Plants, too, have an umwelt, which makes this a companion to An Immense World.
Plants may not seem like a subject for ethics and philosophy, but the author makes a crucial case for humans changing their behavior toward them. They are neither mute nor static objects; they have senses. They feel things, solve complex problems, communicate with each other in various ways we would call ingenious.
At times, they communicate with animals. Their world is more alien to us than the animals’. I know someone who describes evolution as a story of planimals and aniplants. I initially thought this was a whacky idea, but consider the emerald green sea slug (Elysia chlorotica), a tiny animal that appropriates chloroplasts from algae and photosynthesizes food for the rest of its year-long life.
