A review by cclift1114
Children of God by Mary Doria Russell

4.0

This one wasn’t quite as good as the first one, but I knew that was likely going to be the case since a huge part of why I liked the first one so much was because I loved all the characters who were part of the first crew. I was glad to read this one, though, because of the surprises that changed the events of the first book. I will say, though, that this one had a bit too much Rakhat politics for me, especially with trying to follow all the different alien names and remember who was who. But it was still a pretty satisfying story with some interesting arguments to consider with respect to society, race, religion, etc.
