Just read Children of Time - top notch sci-fi (sh.itjust.works)

Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time. One of my top reads, let alone sci-fi reads, for the past couple of years for sure. Super well-thought out concepts, good character development, and an irresistible hook that will take you out of your comfort zone when you find out that you really don't know who you are siding with!

Has anyone read this or any of Tchaikovsky's other works??

Read his Final Architecture series recently and absolutely loved it. The characters were great, the world building was interesting and the portrayal of eldritch horrors was so well done.

Starts with the Shards of Earth, highly recommend.

I, too, read that series recently and loved it. However, I think the third book wasn't as great as the first two, but still good. How does children of time compare with this series? Final Architecture is the only work by the author that I have read.

As a first book, I think Children of Time is much better than Shards of Earth. I enjoyed both series but would say the third book in each was the weakest. The Final Architecture series had a slightly stronger third entry.

Will check out Children of Time then.
