This is hands down one of the most unusual fiction books I’ve read, from the start it’s clearly different with the high quality paper, stunning graphics and the overall literal weight of it, this is far from your average novel. This is not my usual read and it took me a while to get through it however it’s not designed to be a speed read, it raises so many questions and issues and is well designed to get you to think and challenge yourself. I think pitching it at a YA audience works extremely well, teens are much more aware of the world these days and this gradually leads from the question of what is home to the far bigger issue of what we as humans are doing to the planet, each chapter has its own philosophy and offers something new to consider but none of it is too overwhelming to process. Leah herself is decent character, she’s got her own way of doing things but I felt her character wasn’t too big for the book which allowed the themes to stand out more. It’s really hard to rate this out of five, in terms of entertainment for me it’s less so than my average read however this is actually quite a special book and a great way of getting its audience to really think about themselves and the world and question everything they know.
