A good follow-up to [b:Semiosis|35018907|Semiosis (Semiosis Duology, #1)|Sue Burke|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1494613337l/35018907._SY75_.jpg|56303145].
[Audiobook note: I think it would have been better had they used only one narrator. The shifting between two readers added nothing and proved distracting, IMO.] ( )

Good follow up to the first book with the addition of new visitors from earth, but nothing major except the hard to believe conflict near the end. ( )

I'm enjoying these books, exploring sentience in other species and their social interactions. The author has given plenty of space for further development of the story and I'm looking footwear to it. ( )

This book (as well as Semiosis) is worth reading just for the world-building alone. I love trees and the secrets they hold, so sentient trees are pretty much as up my alley as is possible. The writing is also decent and the plot is okay, too.

The reason this isn't a five star read for me, is the fact that it feels incomplete. There was so much to explore in this book, and the author made the choice to pick a single path and follow that. So effectively, my gripe is basically just about personal preference.

If you don't mind a book with several loose ends, though, you'll love this. (Also, it'll make my year if it turn's out there's a third installment coming out sometime in the future!) ( )

both this and semiosis were great. so inventive! ( )
