Sleeping Giants

Thank you to Destiny for suggesting we buddy read this together. I've been wanting to read this book for a while. I've had several people recommend this to me after I read and loved the Illuminae Files. They said this was similar. While it does have some similarities, I think comparing it to the Illuminae Files was a disservice. I went into this book expecting the format to be like Illuminae when the only similarity is that it's told in interviews which is great, but I was expecting more so that was a little bit of a disappointment to me.

As for the story itself, I really enjoyed it. I feel like the relationships took over the story though. I didn't hate the relationships, but it wasn't balanced enough for me with everything else going on. I feel like the characters were well developed. There was a good bit of science/math that went over my head but luckily it didn't take over the book too much.

I was shocked by the ending, and I definitely want to continue on with the series because I need to know what is going to happen.
