\u201cThose old movies were about fear of the unknown, about science taking over our lives. Everyone was worried about the atomic bomb, and nuclear radiation, and how we were all going to die a million different ways. The monsters were sort of victims, themselves. I always felt terrible when they died.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think what I enjoyed most about this book was how thoughtful and thorough the world-building was, and how Sarah found her place in that world. There were several times when I was kinda giving the story the side-eye, but then CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK things all feel into place. <\/p>\n

I was quite impressed.<\/p>\n
