Maybe four and a half stars. I enjoyed this, and I am thankful to have grown up in a place where things actually got dark and bugs and wild animals and plants were part of everyday (or should I say everynight) life. I'm still on a nature high after visiting some national parks, so this was a good book to fuel that wonder. Only critiques are that she sometimes she tries too hard to be profound and edgy by romanticizing darkness, but like, duh humans aren't nocturnal animals so don't expect us to be as appreciative of the night as the day. I do appreciate that she came closer to balancing it yin-yang style at the end, dualism but make it circadian.
