History

Review

A strange story, apparently set in a future where people are malformed. A lot isn’t ever explained, such as why they want to capture the man or exactly what has happened to cause this world to be. While it is interesting in it’s imagination and characters, I feel there just isn’t enough given to the reader for this to be considered a good story. Pass on this one.
