Acclaimed scientist Hope Jahren has built three laboratories in which she's studied trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Her first book might have been a revelatory treatise on plant life. Lab Girl is that, but it is also so much more. Because in it, Jahren also shares with us her inspiring life story, in prose that takes your breath away.

compelling story
Revisado: 02-19-20
This was an intense and necessary book. I believe the author managed to combine a good mixture of personal history and science communication. I only wished she could speak a bit louder, I had done trouble understanding at some parts and had to replay them many times. however I enjoyed this and will look for more from this author

Maybe trying but main character is unlikable
Revisado: 08-04-17
I was actually hoping the focus of this book would be Luna. Sadly we are stuck with her sister instead. A sister who is mostly unsupportive, selfish and keeps misgendering Luna and being ashamed of her. I understand that for most cis heterosexual people this can be seen as the normal way to react to this kind of situation but I couldn't really feel sorry for Reagan and her struggles because she was just so transphobic. Gladly she improves later but still keeps being so terrible to her sister and how come she is surprised Luna wants to go away? Anyway, I appreciate the effort of the author to show how complex siblings relationship can be but Reagan shouldn't have been the main character here, Luna's perspective would have been more interesting.

"All the women of my family had gone to war... Now my turn had come... So, it is the custom that a free woman leave her mother's house to bind herself and those of her blood to a neighboring clan, either by the sword or by the cradle." So begins the story of young Tamras, as she embarks on her journey to become a warrior's apprentice. This epic story is not about battles and armor, but rather about relationships, coming of age and wisdom, and deep insights into the human experience.

better than expected
Revisado: 05-30-17
When I downloaded this audiobook I was unsure about the story and how it works develop. I was expecting maybe a more action packed style but the story was much calmer, more reflective and complex than that and I'm glad I decided to give this story a chance. I only wish the other two books were also available in audible. It's a pity only one book in the trilogy is an audiobook. Hopefully the other two will also made available soon

The planet Athshe was a paradise whose people were blessed with a mystical awareness of existence. Then the conquerors arrived and began to rape, enslave, and kill humans without a flicker of humanity. The athseans were unskilled in the ways of war, and without weapons.

Now a Challenger, Jessamy is moving up the ranks of the Fives - the complex athletic contest favored by the lowliest Commoners and the loftiest Patrons alike. Pitted against far more formidable adversaries, success is Jes' only option, as her prize money is essential to keeping her hidden family alive. She leaps at the chance to tour the countryside and face more competitors, but then a fatal attack on her traveling party puts Jes at the center of the war that Lord Kalliarkos - the prince she still loves - is fighting against their country's enemies.

Intricate and absorbing
Revisado: 05-10-17
this second installment shows how our characters mature and I really enjoyed how they had to face very different problems than those from the first book.
(SPOILERS!)
I have to say understand why Jesse loves both parents but I'm very frustrated with her admiration to get father. I mean the guy is a coward for abandoning her family for ambition. I really detest him and used to detest his new wife but this book made me feel a bit sorry for her (I still detest the general though). It was pleasingly surprising that her sister has a relationship with her friend and wish to see more of that! I am all for more variety and this book provides not only with a strong heroine but her sisters are interesting too. I do hope their father dies or something (why do they try to respect him still?), or that if he meets with his former wife that she never takes him back. I'm curious about the baby too, intrigued by what part will it okay in the following book. I am very glad Kal grows up in this book, I was getting annoyed at him for being upset with Jesse, I mean his dreams vs her family's life, I think the choice is very obvious. This series is interesting and would recommend for those who like history and fantasy.

But at night she can be whomever she wants when she sneaks out to train for The Fives, an intricate, multilevel athletic competition that offers a chance for glory to the kingdom's best competitors.

fantastic!
Revisado: 12-05-15
loved the story and also the reader of the audio book, she made great voices that made easy to understand who was talking even when there were 2 girls talking
I guess the only problem I have with the story is (spoilers! !!!!) how amazingly privileged the love interest in this story is, I mean, was is really expecting that she could let her dreams, her family and all behind her just to let him live a short fantasy? of course she had to do what she did, she would die otherwise! I am very exasperated by this guy. On the other hand I think that it is very lovely how our protagonist does all she can fit her family and I'm sorry she clings to her father so much, he doesn't deserve it but I think those feelings she has are very normal and real. Love the world -building, it is brilliant and I can't wait to read/hear the rest
