What did you think of the Children of Time series? I loved the first one, and enjoyed the second though it didn't capture me as much. Is the third one worth reading (no spoilers)?
Its OK and worth reading just for the sake of completion but its not as good as 2 and nowhere near as good as the first one.
Ahh that's a shame - I've heard elsewhere that the third one was a return to form. I'll have to read it either way and see what I think.
I definitely say read it and me saying its not as good as 1 or 2 is just my opinion :)
I've read them too and first one was amazing, second one was good but repetitive. Third one I finished but didn't like. The story gets repeated over and over
I have the ability to listen to whatever I want at work so I hardly ever fail to finish a book unless it's really not pulling me in.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it was nowhere near as good as the first two but it certainly was different and not in a way I found interesting. A bit slow to get to the point I guess is how I would say it.
Made me think about sentience more than the first two, though I don't know if it alone provided enough info to really do anything beyond those initial moments of "huh, I guess that could be the case."
Thanks for sharing your thoughts :) I'll give it a go and see what I think. I've never not enjoyed any of Tchaikovsky's books, so I'm sure it'll still be a good read - I suppose the first book in this series set a very high bar though!
