Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky
3.0
I wanted to like this book more. It was a complete challenge to finish it, and I was hoping for something to happen. There were so many points of view, it was exhausting.
The first book was all about Space Spiders- spiders that were alien in nature, but enhanced by a human created virus. It moved really quickly for a 600 page book.
This book is about humans and spiders, who find a world inhabited by Space Octopus, who were placed there by humans. These Space Octopus have figured out civilization and can man spacecraft. They wage wars on each other. They just aren't that interesting, and I didn't care about the octopus civilization at all.
There is a sentient alien, but it's sludge. Seriously. An all encompassing sludge.
