I’m confused by the books pacing because it feels like the middle of the book but is more towards the end. I really like the concept that humans still presume that they are better than the piggies, and anything that sounds unusual they say is their religion instead of taking them at their word. Like how being a tree is part of the piggies life cycle, and that’s dismissed by humans as religion.

I really like the introduction of the piggies. It is clear that they are different, just like it is clear they are intelligent. I also appreciate ended being in the story as he is such a interesting character. I think his motivations, to help people and to help the hive queen are both compelling and engaging. Exited to see how Novina, has grown and if they will ever figure out what killed Libo.
