There are not enough stars or words to express how much I LOVED and ENJOYED this book. Waiting for the second book to be released is killing me!

The main reason I picked up a copy of this book was because of how beautiful the cover was - I know that's a bad reason to read a book but it turned out to be a great decision, because Sleeping Giants is definitely one of my favourite new releases of this year.
The whole book is told using interviews and audio logs, which in itself is a really interesting medium to read it (it kind of reminded me of The Illuminae Files in that sense, but with less interesting page designs - not that it lets it down at all, it doesn't really need it). The story picked up really quickly and I couldn't it down and ended up reading it until half one in the morning because I was so hooked.
If you like fast paced Sci-Fi books then I would definitely recommend getting yourself a copy of Sleeping Giants - I can't wait until I can get my hands on Waking Gods in April!

Urban sci-fi? That's what this is in my head. My dad calls it "hard science fiction." In any case, it is definitely science fiction, but it takes place on Earth in present day.
I love the author's writing style. I love the format of the book; it's not the normal novel layout.
If you enjoy science fiction (or even urban fantasy, as that's more my pace...although I think in my brain they are more interchangeable than they should be), read this book! It won't take you long.
