This was a very heavy-hitting book. The characters may be fictional, but Wilson does a fantastic job of making it feel like they are real.

This story branches over multiple generations of women from the Dakhota tribe. Seed keeping is the running theme through the book as it ties the ancestry together through the generations, from hiding the seeds as they were being murdered for land, or when their children were being stolen from them, or even using the seeds to help call their families home. I feel this is one that everyone should read. I will be keeping a copy of this for myself to revisit in the future.

This book was part science, part memoir. The sea creatures are used to reference different points in Imbler's life and ultimately represents the ability to grow and morph into who you truly are. I felt like this was decent. I ultimately felt like I didn't get enough of the memoir and enough of the sea life throughout the book. I kept wishing for more information on both. It was interesting enough, but I think I would look elsewhere if I had a desire to read a science/memoir mashup again.

I didn't like this as much as the og Legends and Lattes. It was still good. But it felt like too much being crammed in with too many details.

I do ever so much want a book that follows Satchel around, though. He was the highlight of this book for me.
