Might be for young listeners. I prefer books where every victory is hard won through superior tactics and the outcome of each struggle is by no means guaranteed. Humanity just isn’t as awesome or lucky as this book makes it out to be. I also seriously doubt other species would be so incredibly stupid. It made for a very shallow story but has some interesting elements that could have taken it to another level. If this is the authors first book, I’d say they have promise but need to grow into it a little more.
