The pacing for this book was well done. I didn't have high hopes with how small the book was overall, but there was hardly anything in the book that would have been just fluff. This definitely hit the same feel as Jurassic Park for me with a shorter read time. Alten put enough effort into trying to make it plausible for the meg to have survived undetected for so long without making it too far fetched. I will be continuing with the series to see how it all goes.
