Welcome to Litsy!

After humans have destroyed the planet and become extinct, a species called Erta try to fix things and bring humanity back to life.

Ima is the Erta who takes on the task of bringing up Reed.

As he grows and changes she realises she loves her child, and will do almost anything to protect him.

A story that revolves around a mothers love, a species destroyed, a planet remade. I loved this one, this will stick with me for a while 🌍

This one is beautifully written with complex characters, I can see this being a future classic.

There's a few bits were it slows down due to 'scientific' stuff and I put it down but I kept going back to it and I'm glad I did because I loved it!

I can‘t recommend this highly enough.

The first thing I realised after reading this book is that speculative fiction is not a genre for me, though, I can see the appeal of it.

The story ws a mishmash of emotions, heart, & loads of scientific wrds tht sounded intelligent & mysterious.

The best & enduring part of this novel was the relationship between Ima & the human son.

I am progressing incredibly slow with this 1. I am having mixed feelings abt this. I don't want to continue with the story because of the scientific jargon & the number of times the word data is used. At the same time I also want to know what happens with the kid. So despite me wanting to just chuck this book I find myself reaching out for it again. Result? Turtle speed reading.
