Remnant #1 |
May 17, 2020 |
Remnant covers some interesting ground but offers a vapid take on the issues it presents. The ending is both bleak and hopeful but the story as a whole lacks the depth to make it memorable much less haunting. I appreciate short-form storytelling but this book does not make a good case for it. At the same time, I don't think a longer page count would have helped a book where there's just not much of a story to tell. |
