A review by si0bhan
Devourer by Cixin Liu

3.0

Devourer was another interesting short story from Liu Cixin, but it’s not one of my favourites. In fact, this was a rounded-up two-point-five-star rating and not a full three-star rating.

Although the story pulled me in and had me curious to see how all the pieces would come together, I wanted a lot more from this one. There were plenty of things introduced that could have been explored deeper, and I feel a lot of this was surface level and never taken as far as it could have been.

All in all, this one had potential but didn’t deliver for me.
