Where do we draw the line? How far is too far? How many human lives can be lost in the name of societal advancement?
These are questions that Sleeping Giants poses, and it does it well. Every character has a different mindset considering, and the answer isn’t given to you—it’s too subjective a question.
Most of the characters were lovably unlovable. I wanted the best for them, but they made it hard to root for them. Except forAlyssa, fuck you Alyssa. You know what you did.
AND THE PLOT TWIST!! That I predicted, but not quite like that. Def getting the sequel.
