Appleseed
by Matt Bell
Fauns, witches, and climate change, Oh my! (2/23/2021)
Appleseed is an intricately imaginative science fiction book full of technical details, especially in the C-432/433 portion of the book. I found Nathaniel and Chapman's ventures to be the most interesting, but I'm still not sure what the purpose of one of the brothers being a faun is. Utilizing nanobees for pollination purposes was an interesting idea.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of a book that mixes fauns, witches, planting, climate change, exes, and world destruction together. It's just a bit much..... the book was detailed in some areas and lacked clarity in others.

Not one of my favorites, but I think it would best suit YA readers, especially those interested in STEM or robotics.
