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??
Portia!
I loved this book! I’ve never read anything else by him because I had a lot of other books already on my reading list, but I plan to circle back around and read the sequel. I enjoyed the book so much that I immediately recommended it to everyone I know, but nobody actually finished it, which was super disappointing because I wanted to talk to people about it.
For your next book I recommend Hyperion, which is book one of the Hyperion Cantos. It is full of philosophy, universal theories, theology, poetry, and adventure. It’s probably the craziest series I’ve ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I even got a book by Pierre Telhard DeChardin afterwards because I was so curious about some of the concepts presented in the Cantos.
For me it was Fabian FTW! Similar sentiments - had to resort to species googling to see where all that character building came from lol.
Will add Hyperion to my list - thanks!
Definitely second Hyperion.
