What is the Yemaya researching? How did the alien Irriganthians get here? Where in the universe are they from? Then there are the kaiju, particularly Taijiku – I was so curious about these sea monsters. To be honest, even with the info-dumps, I was left wanting to know so much more. Which is a shame, because I found the whole idea really intriguing. I didn’t feel anything during the following scenes either, and again, I should have. Unpleasant, but it didn’t bother me – and it really should have. There’s one particular moment that should have been horrifying, but it was just remarked on and that was it. There’s a lot of info-dumping at the start, followed by a lot of tell-action, then when it does come to showing things they’re done in a distant way that robbed them of any tension or emotion. Firstly, I didn’t get along with the writing style at all, it was too clunky and inconsistent for me. This short story has a lot of potential, but it’s plagued with problems.
