Children of Time - A Little Weird, but Brilliant!

Welcome back! Today we’re talking about the award winning series, Children of Time, by Adrian Tchaikovsky. THIS is how sci-fi is meant to be written! It’s not just shooting lasers and superpowers and spaceships. This is DEEP sci-fi, with incredible scientific accuracy, intricate worldbuilding, and some heavy discussions around the nature of the universe and humanity itself. But it’s also a pretty weird concept. I never would have thought this idea would work, let alone, work so well. Now let’s take a look at this trilogy, spoiler free, and discuss what it’s all about and see if these books are right for you.
