situations which are either or not due to nature and how powerhungry people can destroy everything. The initial chapters have surprised me with a good and bad feeling, and as I was looking for the same excitement in the coming chapters, I found the story doing a roller coaster ride of characters, their details and too much explanation of some unwanted yet important situations. For instance, it's a known thing how does mating happen between a man and a woman. But in the book with this subject, I felt it's unnecessary to get into many details of the act. Likewise, the most annoying thing is dedicating a whole chapter about ' peeing '. Yes! You read it right. It was absolutely yucky. Reader's disclaimer is a must for a good story but not up to the mark writing. MAY 2019
