Review of 'Sleeping Giants' on 'Goodreads'

Interesting! I feel like everything about this book was.. good. The story is fine, nothing incredibly unique or interesting, but good enough to hold my attention. The characters are fine, though I don't think they are written in a way that is distinct enough from one another. More specifically, the book is about 90% interview format with each character responding to the same person. The characters are distinct in their actions, but not so much in their dialogue. The format is unique, but it took some getting used to. This hardly feels like the first installment of a trilogy, rather it is just the first third of a larger book. I don't have any strong opinions on that, but I think I would have rather it had more of a stand-alone story. It left me intrigued enough that I'll likely pick up the next two.
