Ryan’s character development was necessary, but no less heartbreaking.What will happen to the Giant, long term? History tells us that no government lasts forever, therefore, it can not be assumed that eventually the UN would not become corrupt and use the Giant in a way that would invoke the wrath of it’s creators.What happened to Alyssa and will she make dozens of Vincent/Kara babies?

Neuvel elegantly portrays personalities, mannerisms, and attitudes of the main characters in the minimalist nature of an interview. Occasionally you’ll have a memo, new article, or personal log mixed throughout, however most of the dialogue is written from the context of a super, top secret, clandestine individual with security clearances exceeding that of even the President of the United States, interviewing individuals within the project.

I immediately preordered the novel with appropriately high expectations.
