The initial few chapters were slow, a lot of setup towards the juicy bits of the book. However, when it did finally get interesting with the plot, it felt a little sudden and unexpected. The idea was there, but the execution wasn't as well done as it possibly could be, which was unfortunate because I really learnt a lot about insects and vultures.

I also wasn't too big a fan of the bracketed thoughts/inserts of Sam. They kind of broke the flow of the book a bit, like it was her recounting something that happened rather than it happening presently for her.

Nevertheless, it was an overall enjoyable story, but it did take some time to get into.
