It's hard to really write about it without any spoilers though... Let's just say it wasn't quite what I thought it would be and turned out to be much better than expected. There were times that really gripped me and I could hardly put it down. I'm looking forward to the sequel and can only hope that it's at least as good as this one. What an incredible book! A truly engaging, unpredictable plot, great character development, but most importantly a deep exploration of the notion of civilization, the nature of communication (both its limits and how it is less limited than we might think), individual ethical choices when balancing short vs. long-term goods in a crisis, sentience (what does it mean to be sentient, to be aware, to be intelligent), family structures, the conditions in which humans/human-like beings can and can't live peacefully with each other. In a fun coincidence, I just came across this book exploring vegetal life and pushing on our framing and understanding of it.Covert Plants: Vegetal Consciousness and Agency in an Anthropocentric World. You can buy it and/or download a free PDF, which is what I'm going to do. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Colonists from Earth wanted the perfect home, but they'll have to survive on the one they found. They don't realize another life form watches and waits. Only mutual communication can forge an alliance with the planet's sentient species and prove that humans are more than tools"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

On re-reading a coupld of years later, I appreciated the underlying botany even more. And there were nuances to the characters and their story arcs that I appreciated more, as well. I am happy to bump it up to 5 stars. ( )
