Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.0
I'll have to be honest, I heard the word spiders and I really didn't have much expectations for this book , mostly because I'm a judgemental a-hole who doesn't like reading about characters that aren't human, and the fact that I hate insects with passion so I would've probably jumped off the ship the first time I saw that the green world was crawling with them.
Anyways this book was a pleasant surprise, at first I wasn't interested in the spiders storyline and sometimes almost skipped it , however I realized that it was an important part of the book so I couldn't, and that was the right choice because I ended up finding myself falling in love with those disturbing hairy legged creatures with every generation that passes. I loved the social commentary throughout the book and how the spider society evolved and changed, especially the thing about the males trying to fight for their rights to live (feminism? Malinism ?)
