We Called Them Giants

Lori wakes up in a world were most people have disappeared leaving behind only baked beans, this abandonment isn’t unusual for Lori who has lived in the foster system for a long time but this is different.

Whether an act of god, alien abduction, or other catastrophe Lori and the others left behind have to find a way to survive.

Some join a gang called The Dogs but Lori and Annette stay outside this and the gangs violent ways.

Then the Giants arrive and things change. From nowhere with no explanation of who or what they are and whether or not they were involved in the disappearances, faces full of eyes like angels but with the nature spirit bodies of a Miyazaki film they are gorgeous.

The art work is stunning and vibrant, and really build a believable world with great characters in it, and the art of the giants stands out so vividly from the world around them that it really makes them ‘out of this world’ be they angels, aliens, or a mix of both.

A story of love, found family, and what that means we may do to keep that family. I really enjoyed this and would love to explore the world of the giants further.

I was given this on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
