Sleeping Giants

The premise was unique and contrary to a few other reviews I've seen on here I loved the format (the interview format is a great way to not have to reveal anything without hamstringing characters' POV) and I'll probably read the next one but I felt that as the story went on many of the characters became more flat versions of themselves rather than fleshing out more (like there was the Bad Girl Who Secretly Wants a Relationship and the Quirky But Strangely Necessary Nerd Boy Loved By Beautiful Women and the Mad Scientist &c - like the only character that I felt got more interesting over time was the interrogator character) and like maybe the reason for it will become more apparent in future installments but I felt that the reproductive violence was unnecessary.
