The romance is tepid and sickly. The setting is poorly thought out. The plot has a huge Killmonger problem. This book makes the argument that literature departments should be defunded. Scientists, as depicted here, are uninquisitive and incapable of being self-critical. Ecological science is apparently based on reading Watership Down and Beatrix Potter and not scientific observation. The author has a poor idea of restorative ecology and how ecological systems work. The main character doesn't know what petals look like, yet grew up on a farm.
Also, this book does not reveal who did the crime that this book is about.
