Started reading as part of the Aussie Author Challenge 2020, although, let's face it, it's about ancient DNA and de-extinction so of course it is right up my alley and even without a reading 'challenge' to motivate me I would read this book. I have been impatiently waiting for it to come out for a few months since I saw Lucy Treloar tweet about reading a pre-release copy of it!
Compared to "Fauna" which is another novel that came out recently on a very similar topic, I much preferred "Ghost Species". The science was believable (as a molecular biologist with a PhD in ancient DNA), I liked a lot of the story, but felt a bit dissatisfied with the ending I guess. Sorry my review is not more detailed, the COVID pandemic was taking up a bit of my headspace.
