Read the full take

The demon queen subdued enormous and powerful monsters and slaughtered over half of the world's population. Surviving members of the human race are left to fight back. That premise is dark and sweeping, and the series builds its story on the aftermath of a catastrophe and the people who refuse to give up.The strength is the scale. The monster designs are striking, and the world feels vast and devastated. The survivors' determination gives the story a sense of purpose.The weaknesses are clear. The violence is frequent and brutal, and the series is short and compressed, so its world feels rushed. Readers wanting a gentler adventure should look elsewhere.Recommended for fans of grim, sprawling monster fantasy. Expect a brutal, compressed ride.
