I'm impatient to start reading, having been lent this book by a colleague. Kate Tempest is a favourite of mine so expecting great things. #poetry

If you want something a bit different, The Bees certainly delivers. The world of the bee in this book is intriguing and alien, and this is the book's main strength. For this reason, I was disappointed with the book's inconsistency in the human flourishes it sometimes brings in. Still a good read though!
