Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel

4.0

Much to my surprise given the compilation of interviews and mission logs writing style I adored this book. The premise of finding a giant alien robot hidden under the earth was so simple but so captivating. Although many of the things that happen work out a little too conveniently as the unknown orchestrator would like them to I still found the global power dynamics and interpersonal conflict that this alien artifact stirred up to be fairly believable. It works so well as a standalone book (besides blatant cliffhanger tacked on to the end) that I wish there were no sequels, but I enjoyed this book enough that I'll definitely end up checking out if they live up to the first.
