My reaction to documentaries - I couldn't just watch
*Sakura didn’t know what caused it. Maybe it was the pitiful trill of the baby as it saw the thing coming, or the sight of the parent creature obviously trying to keep itself between the baby and the oncoming predator. But something drove a knife of empathy and rage straight into her heart and she was suddenly charging out, her father and sister screaming at her.**

As example:
**Whips would have come along but he wasn’t quite recovered from his fight against what Melody had named a dire-worm, causing her father to lecture everyone on the differences between worms, cnidarians, echinoderms, and how none of that applied here—and then agree that dire-worm was a very good name for the thing.**

This is aimed at YA audience but it is still a complex & interesting story filled with reasonable science! Very little handwaving make it so acceptance needed. :D

I love seeing where Ryk took the world after the first trilogy. :D

Yuck. The scavenger vermin are totally creeping me out. This situation is SOO not optimal.

Brave girl. Traumatized, now terrified and still have to go on.

Much like Superman, do NOT mess with Whip's adopted Momma. He is by far my favorite character in this story.

Ah the city raised human all my meat comes wrapped and packaged response. SAVE the CUTE animal! Honestly, I am totally down with that.

Well that escalated quickly. So much for the high tech colonial approach.
