This book entails the journeys of a band of anthropomorphic insect scientists pursuing knowledge despite a crazy religion/pyramid scheme (kinda) that’s sole purpose is to thwart exploration and discovery so it can install its leaders and rulers of the insect city. Also I think this takes place some time after modern day, because I don’t know of any sentient insect colonies.
I like this book. At first the concept may sound weird, and it is, but it works. The characters - Lucy, Raef, Prof. Bombardier, Mossy, and Professor Owen - are all memorable, and the villain’s motives all make sense from their perspective. But it does have have some problems. The characters, though memorable, are rather basic and one-note. But overall, it is a good book that I would recommend. The world building, art style, and interesting story are what make this book good.
TLDR: 8/10
Should you get the book: yes, if you don’t mind insects.
