Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time. One of my top reads, let alone sci-fi reads, for the past couple of years for sure. Super well-thought out concepts, good character development, and an irresistible hook that will take you out of your comfort zone when you find out that you really don't know who you are siding with!

Has anyone read this or any of Tchaikovsky's other works??

It's a good book. The concepts are amazing if you're into sci fi.

There were a couple places where I struggled to keep going, but the book's promise of more depth always kept me engaged enough to keep going.

I'm there with you, pacing slowed a bit here and there, but for good reasons. Those made for good stop points though.

Took me a good few months if not a year to get through this book but it was worth it. I'd say the concept was great but the execution was lacking. Still a great book though.
