![]() ![]() We learn about Aura, the way creatures of the Earth communicate with one another, and we learn how each of them sees humans, from S.T’s fantastical obsession with the resourcefulness of humans (or MoFo’s) to the murder of crow’s less than tasteful view of humans (or Hollows). I’ve said before the plot is ingenious: a crow tells the story of how humankind fell. There are so many unsatisfying things about this book, I’m not sure I can fit them in this one post. The characters introduced in the first few chapters: Genghis Cat, Winnie the Poodle, and those throughout, like the Humpback whales and a pack of wolves, are filled with personality and never really heard from again. The world Kira Jane Buxton creates, at first glance of the back cover, feels magical, grotesque, intriguing. ![]() It’s been a long journey from Dennis and S.T.’s house with Big Jim, to Kraai the crow, Migisi the eagle, The One Who Conquers, The Weavers, and The One Who Keeps. ![]()
