zivan 's review for:

The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.5
adventurous informative mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Tchaikovski loves to play with uplift scenarios for different species. In [book:Children of Time|25499718] and in [book:Children of Ruin|40376072] he had two or three main immerging intelligences to play with, in The Doors of Eden he has a multiverse at his disposal and can go wild.

To bad that all the view point characters are human.

This is a story about diversity and accepting the other rapped in an action flic about one species effort to put together a crack team of the multiverses finest minds in an attempt to prevent the collapse of said multiverse. 

Sadly it is let down a bit by invoking a rather cartoonish  main villain.
