A review by ljrinaldi
Strange Skies Over East Berlin by Jeff Loveness
3.0
The publisher blurb says that it is chilling and intense, but I just found it frustrating.
A mysterious alien crash lands in East Berlin, and the local spy tries to figure out what it all is.
And what it is all is is your worse fears, and regrets.
And, well, I'm sure there is more to it than that, but that is the main point, and it seems to take forever to get to it.
The art is good, dark, and intense, and did I mention dark? The characters are not all that eveolved, and I don't really care about any of them, to be honest.
So, a good spy vs alien story, but not a great one.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
