I kinda wish this was a series I really liked it ( )

Once again Mira Grant hits it out of the park with a story that first gives you giant monsters but then settles down into a years long search for a sister caught on the other side of a barrier that produced those monsters. Susan and Katherine become separated the day the monsters came and haven’t been able to contact one another since. But a message gets through to Susan from Katherine, and Susan who has spent her life studying the barrier will do anything to see her sister again. Life is different on the other side of the barrier and the children conceived and born around the barrier are of great interest to multiple governments. Now think about what would happen if people born in the rifts could come through. A good what if story and a setting I would certainly like to see explored some more. ( )

Very strong sci-fi novella - heavy on the sci, so reader beware, I know some went over my head. Just enough creepy with huge monsters and portals to different worlds, but not so much as to give me nightmares. I always enjoy books that make me think, "What would *I* do", and this one certainly did. If you enjoy SM/MG's work, this will probably be for you. ( )

The story has an interesting premise and its well written, however, I fount it over the top with a message. Its not a bad message, but the book was written for the purpose of saying military powers in Gov't is bad, and as a result, the story didn't make a lot sense. For example, HOW does a population support themselves in a limited space? or WHY did humans survive the change in atmosphere, but animals did not.

Either way, Its a book I spent way too much time rolling my eyes at. Which is unfortunate, since it has a very interesting premise. ( )
