I went into this book not knowing anything about it, just that Brian Keene had a new book out (always exciting). After starting to read it quickly became apparent this was going to be something different, which was a good thing.

This Novella opens fast and doesn't let up, it's been a year since the everyone on earth had been having the red dreams, apocalyptic nightmares about the end of the world, but now the dreams are coming to life. A little girl in China was the first to see the monsters what can only be described as Kaiju. Now they are destroying the cities and killing everyone on the east coast of Asia.

The good, it's a Kaiju book by Brian Keene what can be bad. The fast pace makes it a quick and enjoyable read. For someone like me who is very much a mood reader these days, something like this keeps me reading.

The bad, it's a novella the story could benefit from being fleshed out to novel length, especially with all the James Rollinsesque ancient tombs and hidden underground cities. The cast of characters would also benefit from more background, they are pretty two dimensional except for the main protagonist.

Overall very satisfying, if Goodreads would allow half stars i would of rated 4.5 half star off because I wanted deeper characters and more background on the Nemasai themselves. ( )
