Sigler plays with the Aliens formula here by setting this novel on world more akin to something you'd find in a fantasy novel. An interesting take on how a pre-industrial society would tackle these iconic creatures. As a plus there are no corporate goons for us to hate on and our lead character (and her companions) are all genuinely likeable.

I guess my rating is number 666! :)
It's been a while since I explored Aliens Universe. Actually this was my first book about it. [a:Scott Sigler|114504|Scott Sigler|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1434042056p2/114504.jpg] is a true master of the craft. I enjoyed immensely. Thank you!

(3.5) I was a bit disappointed because it felt more like a YA book and I wasn’t expecting that. I was hoping for more suspense and terror but it didn’t translate.
The characters were fun even though they seemed to constantly push the message of gender equality. It’s just isn’t what I want when I am reading a book to escape reality. I wanted gore and to feel nervous about what was happening.
Try not to get me wrong, I did enjoy the book, but not as much as I hoped I would.
