Predator: If It Bleeds by Mira Grant, Andrew Mayne
2.0
My personal highlights:
•Stonewalls's last stand by Jeremy Robinson
•Skeld's Keep by S. D. Perry
•Three Sparks by Larry Correia
There's nothing wrong with the stories they're mostly okay some better than others, but after a while it's like you're reading the same story over and over again...and yeah, that was pretty much what I expected (sort of) after reading a Alien vs Predator anthology, but it was still disappointing to find out that this would be the case, because while I was hoping a general formula in the stories, I also had high hopes that the formula would only be present in some stories, not almost all of them.
It just that i feel that is a shame that the authors of the stories has limited themselves to the most basic scenarios rather than tried to innovate or be more creative (i would be the first to recognize that i'm not a hardcore fan of the franchise and i don't have any idea of how "purist" the fans are so maybe the authors are constricted for that reason).
Also why are the humans always on top? somebody please explain to me because it just ...seems fake. And the lack of Yautja POVs is shameful and yes the title implies that we are to root for the humans but a full story in the hunter perspective is not much to ask right?
