"By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain."

The writing was very hard for me to get & the descriptions about London are very tedious to someone who has no idea what's where there 🫣🤣😅

HOWEVER, I loved the story - I loved Wells' genius, I loved his solution to the chaos and his ponderarions about humanity and colonialism

Ada kata yang seharusnya "teh" malah tertulis "the" XD, ada beberapa (lumayan banyak) typo, dan double spasi.
Agak kurang nyaman dengan terjemahannya, ada banyak enter aneh yang aku tidak tahu maksudnya. Ada satu paragraf dobel dihalaman 111-112.


Cerita novelnya kurang seru, entah karena pengaruh terjemahan atau versi aslinya memang monoton atau karena tokoh "saya" yang menjadi point of view cerita ini adalah seorang penulis sains karena itu dia bercerita seperti buku pelajaran.
