![]() ![]() ![]() Some of my favourite aspects of the novel included how Waking Gods keeps with the unique stylistic choice of telling the story in present tense through interviews, transcriptions of news footage, radio communications etc. The team have determined how to use the metal giant robot to their advantages, but must also face the limitations placed on them and the giant by international organisations. Be warned however, the return of one character does not signal a running trend in Neuvel’s writing. The previous novel left us on quiet the cliffhanger however, as we discovered the return of a beloved character who had been killed earlier in the book. The premise of the novel follows ten years after the events of Sleeping Giants, where a huge metal robot, which may or may not have been created by an alien race, has been found on earth and reconstructed. With that said, Here is my best attempt, anyways! Though in all honesty, I struggled with writing this review, mainly because the story is so engaging and complex simultaneously that I find it hard to describe it without including spoilers. ![]() So, of course, after tearing through it, I knew I had to write another review for it. Waking Gods was as much an excitement to read as the first book was (read my review of Sleeping Giants, here ). Following from Sylvain Neuvel’s debut novel, Sleeping Giants, I took the first chance I could to go buy the next in the series of the Themis Files. ![]()
