Sleeping Giants

Oh dear, it feels like I am just handing out five star reviews left and right these days. But rest assured they all deserved them, and this one does as well. :)

I loved the interview storytelling approach. It's the first time I read a book that used such a technique, so I cannot compare, but I can say the way it is executed here is admirable. Without having an actual narrator, there is still action, suspense, character development and a conclusive narrative. It also sets up a world, or rather a universe, that is intriguing and that I am eager to learn more about.

Kudos to Sylvain Neuvel, this is a fantastic first that stands on its own, but also lays the foundation for (hopefully) a lot more to come!
