Review of 'The Children of the Sky' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I find it hard to put Vernor Vinge's books down.
Unlike [b:A Deepness in the Sky|226004|A Deepness in the Sky (Zones of Thought, #2)|Vernor Vinge|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1316729499s/226004.jpg|1270006], this is a direct sequal to [b:A Fire Upon the Deep|77711|A Fire Upon the Deep (Zones of Thought, #1)|Vernor Vinge|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1316727696s/77711.jpg|1253374].

The entire book takes place on the Tines world. I would have liked to have some action take place off world, telling us something about what's happening in the rest of the galaxy.
But I guess the idea is to keep us in suspense, with the same level of knowledge available to people living under the threat of the blighter fleet.
