A review by breenmachine
The Doors of Eden by Adrian Tchaikovsky

2.0

I wasn't a fan of the interludes between the chapters that talked about other evolutions. Some of them were critical to have read, but some of them seemed unnecessary and could have been edited out.

I loved the concepts of the ICE computer, the branching, the "maths", Cam, the Cousins.

I loved the characters Kay and the Rat - those two were my favorites. Everyone else was ok, but I didn't feel like I cared about them as much as I should have. I also felt like I was expecting much weirder things to happen, which never really did. (Which is probably my expectation after reading "Children of Time")

Rove and his thug gave the plot a thriller vibe, and police man and Allison gave it a defective vibe. Both of which had a hard time keeping my interest.

My favorites written by Tchaikovsky are still "The Expert System's Brother" and "Children of Time" series. (WHICH ARE AMAZING!)
