A review by zellau
Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
4.0
Absolutely recommend this book. Loved this book. This book may have altered my brain chemistry permanently.
Feel weird about giving it anything less than 5 stars given this. However. I vastly preferred the subplot with the spiders to the one with the humans. Both were great! In isolation I would probably even give the humans subplot 5 stars. But the fact remains that I spent half the book going "No, no, go back to the other thing!" and I do not think I can give that experience 5 stars no matter how good the story that caused it was.
That said, I have a phobia of spiders and this book made me fall in love with the spiders -- who were very obviously spiders! This was not the thing that often happens where I could just pretend they were humans and have the story make sense -- despite that. Read it.
