A Closure to a Chapter that Started 70,000 years ago

Overall, it was a good sequel and closing of the first chapter that spanned thousands of years. It also established the universe of this fiction world better as well as the characters growth.

However, there were too many lengthy dialogues from David, it felt like he was a history professor than a character analysing historical facts. I had to fight myself from skipping anything during that part. Maybe I'm biased, since I'm pretty much familiar with those events he explained.

It is also refreshing that the novel ended as a closer to the first, although there was an obvious hint of a sequel, the ending did not feel, not even pointed, that way.

It got me very curious though what earth would look like if Kate chose not to reverse the devolution protocol.
