I’ll be the first to admit this wasn’t my favorite Riley Black book (that honor still goes to My Beloved Brontosaurus) but that sure doesn’t mean The Last Days of the Dinosaurs wasn’t good. The way the book progressed, from hours to days to millennia after the K-Pg extinction was really well done and enthrallingly well written. My favorite chapters were the one with the dinosaurs, before the extinction, and the epilogue/conclusion. As a transgender dinosaur enthusiast like Riley,
I related a lot to what she wrote in that final chapter about having to go through loss to create yourself. I enjoyed her anecdotes about her journey to the extinction boundary
. I’d definitely recommend this book to most people looking for a unique book about prehistory, and I’m glad I took the time to read it.
