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??

I listened to the audiobooks if that counts.

He is one of my favoured authors.

My personal top list, of what I "read"

Children of time
The doors of eden
children of ruin
shards of earth series

On a side note, it's funny how almost all his books' titles are like "something" of "something"

I DID notice that lol. Sounds like a pretty good, subtle titling style that people can associate to an author.

To me it feels kinda unoriginal, like they couldn't think of something better, also it's not like only Tchaikovsky uses that schematic, there's plenty of books named "something of *something"
