A review by alexandriam_rose
Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky

4.0

While reading the first chapter, I forgot for a second I had picked up a sci-fi, but that was a good thing and started things off pretty interesting. The main theme/focus of this short novel is very upfront and explores the line between advanced technology and its perception as magic. But it also reminded me of a weird mash-up of Annihilation, with a very futuristic human version of Muderbot and some classic sword and sorcery fantasy, but again, all wrapped up in a sci-fi.
