The science was a bit too complex for me but enjoyed the fiction well enough. There was a sizeable group of main characters that have robust personalities and motivations.

Im sorry but i just dont rlly care and i feel like things are not progressing at a pace I want it to…
Fascinating concepts. Stick with it - it's worth it!
This one did not grab me like the ‘Children of’ series. I got tired of the cliffhanger/chase/shoot em up passages. Once the Scooby-gang was, (more or less) United in its enormous scientific challenge, I enjoyed it more but none of the characters won my heart and I was not, at any point, moved. I think I should have been, (I am pretty easily moved!). Nevertheless, this is intelligent sci-fi and strong story-telling. That it still rates four stars despite my whinging is testament to that. The alternating chapters brought Last and First Men by Olaf Stapleton to mind
This was so interestingly written, we have so much world building with a multiverse of different versions of Earth, and you can tell research has been done by the author to write this. There were a lot of different character point of views, and in some books this can get confusing, but the way Tchaikovsky has made each character so different, it’s very easy to follow and differentiate between them all. They have relatable, real life issues which make it easy to connect with them while also having to cope with this new knowledge they’ve discovered of other worlds and having aliens and other beings thrust into their daily lives.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but with the detail included in this book to help build the world and the story, it definitely will not be the last.
