I felt troubled by this. I never got why Alaya was so determined to invade and brutalise the humans from the outset. Nor why the mayor jumped right in with the religious group rather than turning them in, although it kinda makes sense given the threats. Aside from that, it was a good exploration of war and intolerance. Interesting SF aspect with the silents. Kinda depressing to read straight after Maus. Very well illustrated and packaged.
