Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons II―Sons of Giants by Frank TieriMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a lot crazier than the first series.
Where the first book was a pirate telling his story of shipwrecking on Monster Island, this features a Kaiju cult, a president and some really rather ridiculous plot points.
Still, I kind of enjoyed it.
There are some great pages of monsters battling in all their magnificence, so kaiju fans should be happy with that, and there are some clever links to different mythology and cultures of the past that work in a fun kind of way.
I think the ending was a bit much for me, so I don't know that I'd pick up the concluding arc, but as a sequel to the first it wasn't so bad. The highlight is definitely the monsters brought to life in stunning colours.
With thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of the collected story
