5.0

I love kaiju stuff. I always have, always will. Carlton's book takes the kaiju tropes and does great shit with them. Sure the Kaiju in this one is dead already. But the feelings of hopelessness, the social commentary, that's all very much alive.

Fantastic read.

SPOILERS!!!!,

!¡Ame el libró!¡Este rasca la misma esquina de mi cerebro que solo carlton mellick puede!, Me encanta la dinámica entre los personajes así cómo está, no hay amistades forzadas ni amabilidad salida de la nada.

Ame mas que nada el hecho de que el protagonista no tiene un romance con Meri, su relación es totalmente realista.
Los personajes actúan con tanto sentido que por momentos esperaba el típico comportamiento cliché y estereotipado de “la chica ruda pero amorosa

The Big Meat…oh, I was NOT expecting how solidly this book was executed. The depth of emotions, the character building, the WORLD building — outstanding. I could read series based on this, and honestly felt so disappointed with how it ended as well as the fact that it ended. It almost felt like there was the amazing buildup, this promise that suddenly stopped. A bit unfinished in my opinion, although that shouldn’t stop anyone from picking this up. If you ever wondered what happens after the monsters fall, this is it.
