Wow. Outstanding! This book is vastly different than the other two. I was frustrated with most of it and was sure I would be rating it 2 stars, maybe 3, even though the writing style was amazing, but the last hundred pages blew my mind.
Take all these 5 stars, Adrian, and go buy something nice with 'em.
Reviews and Comments
I mostly read Fantasy and Science Fiction, some of which are graphic novels. I read from both my Kobo eReader and physical books. I have imported 444 items from #Goodreads.
I'm currently reading the Wheel of Time series and just finished book 7, though I take breaks from that series after every book and will read other stuff. I just finished reading the Children of Time series by Adrian Tchaikovsky, including the latest Children of Memory that was just released.
I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Incredible! "The smartest evolutionary world-building you'll ever read", indeed! I was not expecting that wonderful ending. I was bracing myself for an ending I would not like, but I was wrong!
I can't wait to start the second book.

Not boring, but not much happens. It's not a story that stands on its own. It doesn't have an ending. Though the last couple of chapters finally saw some kind of progression. You really have to go on to book 2, otherwise you don't really have a story.
The characters are great, though. Not a lot of world building. I sure hope it improves in the next books.
