![]() ![]() ![]() Still, some really worked for me like the activist/journalist one where they were trying to uncover a WY coverup. Like the author wanted to tell a different story but sprinkled some AVP on the surface so it fits the anthology. Sometimes I loved the creative story settings, sometimes they felt really forced in. I think even the AVP movies made a more fair fight than that. Beware of spoilers cause I'm talking about the whole book.Ĭan't believe not one alien won against the predators in a single story and that so many of the predators survived. Overall I really enjoyed it, but a few details really annoyed me. ![]() I read all the stories and I have mixed feelings about this. Maybe it's not even the lack of well written action but the problem when a story introduces the action or sets it up but doesn't pay off like in Planting and Harvest. IMO the action was memorable in about 3 stories. I don't feel like the preds deserved all those wins. Not described well and the aliens are shown to be a bit weak. The reason I'm complaining about this is that the action was very poor IMO in most if the stories. And from her previous novel, I know she can write some good action, but literally skipping it the moment I thought things are about to get chaotic was quite a punch to the face. The world building was great but it felt like the story ended too fast, out of nowhere. Just really well written, and I dug the black comedy regarding people dying as a result of the seemingly innocuous work they were doing on the station I guess the complaints about the more subdued action are fair, but personally I feel like we've had a whole load of action-packed AVP stories, so I didn't mind this one downplaying that aspect. Actually think I liked this almost as much as Mariposa. ![]()
