Review of 'Children of Time 3-Book Set by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Time, Children of Ruin, Children of Memory)' on 'Goodreads'

A brilliant expansion of the previous books themes and plot, with some fantastic new additions. Thoroughly entertaining high-concept space opera. It's fun to think about trying to explain this book to someone who has never read science fiction.

The only criticism you could make is that the section where the original crew land on Nod and slowly discover what is happening there is one of the most thrilling and thought-provoking pieces of sci-fi horror ever written. Even though the rest is still great, it’s impossible for any book to match the perfection of that section.

Children of Time is one of my favourite books ever. There was no way this sequel could live up to it,but still I liked it less than I wanted to :(

None

I was about to give up half way. I'm glad I didn't. The last thing I expected was a happy end though the first book should have been a hint that one is there. I really like the end, the way the species complete and improve each other. It should be a lesson for us as the human race who still can't agree on skin color and ethnicity.

I approached Children of Ruin with caution. When an author decides to turn a stand alone book into a series after landing a movie deal...

It feels like he was pressured into it by the publisher and didn't really have a good idea on how to continue the story.

This is not the case.

Tchaikovsky delivers a brilliant successor to the already masterful Children of Time.

Are you ready for an uplifting, action packed and suspenseful first, second, third and fourth contact story?

Buckle up, we are going on an adventure.

It took me some chapters to get into this book. It was recommended to me by some friends on my forum. I'd previously tried to read books from this author, but always put them down after the first pages: just couldn't get into the anthropomorphism of the insects.
However, I trusted these friends in their recommendation to me, so I persevered. And boy, am I glad that I did.
Now, you should know I'm suffering from arachnaphobia. It's getting better now, but I'm still not happy with spiders around me, least of all in my head. But this book...
I love how the writer takes the insects and translates their way of communicating and living into a relatable story for humans, without humanizing the spiders too much. It didn't take long for the spider-part to disappear from my mental eye. They became persons.

I have a particular fondness for 'generation' …
