Representation: Asian main character

7/10, now that I look back at it this wasn't the best sci-fi book ever but it was still enjoyable despite all its flaws and there were a lot of them. The story itself was super predictable and I could see where it was going as I read on, it sometimes dragged with some slower scenes and the characters were not fleshed out but they got the job done; at least the world-building was intriguing and that helped me get through this book sometimes. It was about the two main characters Theo and Hester who suddenly got weird plant powers from nowhere and others got them so they all got together to understand and develop their powers further but I still didn't know why they had them until they discovered a company mutated them to have powers and they did a bunch of other shady stuff and the characters stopped them eventually. I liked that the book mentioned some protests against the company and there was still a long way to go to undo the damages that they made and the antagonist rich boy named Edgar Warren was kind of interesting. However, the whole message about the environment was kind of shoved in my face sometimes rather than letting me get the message myself which wasn't a good aspect of the book but it didn't matter much. If you like a story about the environment this one is for you. ( )
