Review of "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky

5 stars

An immensely satisfying story about human advancement and hubris that gave me everything I'm looking for in good sci fi. It's an exciting story filled with twists and turns that touches on deep, familiar ideas in profound and novel ways. There's lots to think about, characters to care about, and story lines to look forward to. The kind of book that gets me looking into the rest of the author's catalog.

@phonner If you liked this one, absolutely check out the rest of the series. Characters, plot, and novel sci-fi elements are all outstanding imo. I found some of the broader themes (religion/God/academics) to be somewhat incoherent, but it's such a 3rd or 4th order effect that it's almost irrelevant. Could be *very* dependent on readers' backgrounds.
