sifuCJC's review of Sleeping Giants

sifuCJC reviewed Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel (The Themis Files, #1)

Sylvain Neuvel: Sleeping Giants (Del Rey Books)

A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near her home in Deadwood, South …

The results from a single, intriguing incident

4 stars

This is like an epistolary novel but instead of letters it's told in interviews and phone calls. I was able to get used to it enough to enjoy the story. The book has what it needs for a global-scale intrigue, some action, some politics, a bunch of tech.

I was looking for another series to start, and this one will do.

@sifuCJC I actually started reading this one wary of having to start a series. But, as I found it to be quite suspenseful without many useless "action scenes", the cliffhanger ending of the last chapter was such a cool payoff that I felt quite ok to end there!

@AndreasD I think that's a fine way to enjoy this novel. The next books go into the implications toward the world. So if you don't feel the need for more or you don't need to know exactly why things happen, it does sum it up in the final book, then you aren't missing anything by stopping. Kinda like the Matrix movies. :)
