A review by simonbauer
Made Things by Adrian Tchaikovsky

5.0

Reading some other people's reviews makes me think maybe I'm just too taken with the poppets to consider the book as a whole, but I don't care. Everything about these homunculi is incredibly endearing. From their overplayed expressionism and dramatic poses to their hoarding of magical trinkets which forms the substrate for new colony members to the diverse materials they're made from and how that affects their personalities and lived experience... Coppelia's protective urges to coddle them like pets, mirrored by The Folded One's mocking accusation that Tef & Arc would risk too much for the sake of their pet.. It's excellent.


(also I think I read somewhere that Tchaikovsky plays rpgs so this pf2 meme might be more than just tangentially related)
