Review of 'The Tusks of Extinction' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
The author's first book, The Mountain in the Sea, led me to read this, and I wasn't disappointed. This light novel, in a short span of under 100 pages, packs quite a punch.
The main events deal with poachers, elephants, and their ancient cousins the mammoths. It speculates on de-extinction and narrates cruel events in a human greed impacted future. I was a bit confused at the start, which always happens to me when there are POV changes or time shifts, but by page 30 I was settled in the story and enjoyed a direct ride until I finished it.
The writing feels very well researched, it brings fictional events to a very near feel of reality –of what is and what could be.
Loved it 🧡
