A review by msrichardsreads89
Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky

adventurous challenging reflective slow-paced

While Children of Time will always be my favorite in this series, this was a solid entry in this trilogy. I really like that each novel focuses on a particular creature, and I did not expect birds for this one, but it was an interesting premise. The plot itself was very thought provoking, and it will stay with me for a while. My biggest criticism with this series is that the stories lack intimacy with the characters at times, so I feel as though I don't get to know them as well as I prefer. However, this one was very character focused, and I got to spend time getting to know the characters and their motivations. I feel as though the ending will be a bit of a hit or miss for readers. I enjoyed it and thought it was a satisfying conclusion. Overall I recommend this series to readers who love smart science fiction and enjoy though provoking concepts.
