I see the sequel potential but I won’t be reading it. It's pretty good, I like the story well enough, but I'm at a point where I think the evils of humanity shouldn't be equated(?) with the evils of fictional monsters. This is the second story I've read where white people evil is because of monsters. And its acknowledged in story that white people evil is its own thing, which was also in the other story I read too, but it's just a genre or type of story that's not for me anymore. It's really short so thats a plus for some and a minus for others. Overall just right in the middle for me.
