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??
I listened to the audiobooks if that counts.
He is one of my favoured authors.
My personal top list, of what I “read”
On a side note, it’s funny how almost all his books’ titles are like “something” of “something”
I DID notice that lol. Sounds like a pretty good, subtle titling style that people can associate to an author.
To me it feels kinda unoriginal, like they couldn’t think of something better, also it’s not like only Tchaikovsky uses that schematic, there’s plenty of books named “something of *something”
I enjoyed shards of earth series especially because I found the characters very engaging and relatable. How does it compare with his other books?
Shards of Earth is a terrific trilogy. Easily some of my favorite space opera.
The curse is that once these great authors get discovered they inevitably get movie deals and the writing starts to fall off. No genre seems untouchable nowadays, even scifi, although I do think the show producers did great justice to James S.A. Corey’s, The Expanse.
