Honestly, the cover has too much going on and it almost made me not read the book. However, I am glad that I clicked to read the description. It is a very well-written book that takes the reader to the events. I also liked that the book started with events already taking place; we didn't have to wait for a build-up to get things going.

It reminds me of The Last of Us....

This book is more than just a sci-fi novel; it's a masterfully woven tapestry of culture and religion by Steve Ramirez. Each character, like Luta and Bellona, enriches the multi-layered story with their unique essence. Ramirez’s created world is astounding, ingeniously integrating real-world religious notions into an entirely novel sci-fi framework. This book is a bold reshaping of traditional sci-fi elements, offering readers a journey of the mind and imagination like no other.

I'm not saying the cover is the only thing I love about the book, I love the contents of the book too.

The cover is not too appealing but the contents of the book are commendable.
Science fiction lovers will like this book as the world building is quite vivid and transpors you to a different dimension.
Exactly. The people can perceive the cover differently but the storyline is well-crafted.

Weaving a tapestry with diverse, nuanced characters grappling with internal conflicts adds impressive dimension. Marks thoughtful character-building.

Authenticity in sci-fi requires mastery of scope - intimate character struggles amidst an expansive cosmos. This author seems to navigate both with aplomb!

Post by Zanne Crystle »

At first, I was a bit confused about the title of the book and how the migration pattern of the brontotheres was related to the plot. However, as I delved deeper into the story, I realized that the great migration wasn't about the animals at all. The cover art is quite pretty, but you have to reach pretty far into the story to understand who the woman is.

To my surprise, the book had elements of a zombie movie, which I found to be a refreshing change of pace. I was impressed by the author's portrayal of fear and how people react differently to danger. While some people can be trained to have a good response, others naturally respond in a way that could aid their survival.

Something this book had me thinking about - building up the courage, resilience, and adaptability to overcome tough situations might not always be enough. It's a captivating story that science fiction and adventure lovers will enjoy. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the setting is vivid and rich. The plot is fast-paced and suspenseful, making it an excellent recommendation for anyone looking for an exciting and thrilling read.

I haven't finished the book yet, but from what I've read so far, the storytelling is incredibly engaging. While I may not fully grasp the plot, it's genuinely interesting and keeps me focused on the narrative. Currently, I would rate the book a temporary 4 out of 5. I'm still a bit confused about the story, but I appreciate its qualities.

Honestly, I didn't like the cover or the name of the book at first. It seemed like something out of National Geographic, but after reading the book I completely get it now. :)

The book start well with action and dreadful scenes. The beginning approved of the design at the cover photo. The book introduce lots of characters at this begingn which makes the reading tiresome somehow. But I think we need to get acquainted with these characters make sense of the book at the long run.
