While this quiet, affecting story lacks the
palpable sense
of dread and superb pacing that made Wolf Hollow (2016) so impossible to put down, there's still plenty to admire in this more classic -
feeling historical novel, which calls to mind Natalie Babbitt's The Eyes
of the Amaryllis (1977).
The
feeling of dread and oppression at the hands
of your human captors is
palpable and at times, Crisis is downright visceral in the connection that it creates between the player and the Apes Trilogy's apocalyptic world.
