Review
This is a pretty common theme, though once again I can only think of stories that come after this one. It is a little too short. We get a glimpse of an organized invasion of some sort, but only a very small glimpse. There could be at least a little more to that part of the story. Other aspects are barely developed as well. I enjoyed it, but I really do want to know just a bit more of what is going on.
