As climate disasters wreak havoc, a sister and brother take opposing sides on the fate of the human race.
Syrah Carthan wants to save it. A tour guide for the Sequoia National Park, Syrah has an affinity for the millennia-old Giants that extends to Rhiza, a subterranean world as ancient as Earth itself. Syrah is the reluctant heir apparent as its Keeper. Her duty is to maintain a balance between nature and humans. But Syrah’s greatest adversary has his duty as well.
Romelo, Syrah’s brother, wants humankind to get what it deserves. To protect the forests, he’s already instigated one battle that ended in chaos and death. To reverse the near extinction of the magnificent trees, Romelo’s next move is to conspire with the sequoias themselves. If all goes according to plan, it will leave human beings absolutely breathless.
The siblings are going to battle. In the worlds above and below, only one of them can emerge victorious.

I love the concept of this book, but this book was just not enacting it well. Like the first book, it feels like nothing is happening as we move through the book. I couldn't get invested in the story in order to keep reading.
This book starts a few months after the first one ends. Syrah has agreed to a new position at the NP that was created for her. She is in the middle of a tour, when she lets an idiot antagonizer rile her up. Then she gets cornered and questioned by a scientist and she literally runs away in the middle of the conversation. Definitely not suspicious. And that's pretty much all that happens in the first 16%.
