minus-squarenlm@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoChildren of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Everyone seemed to hype it up as the best sci fi ever so it might just have been the hype that did it. I thought it was a decent book but nothing really special. It just wasn’t all that interesting to me. It didn’t make me want to read the sequels.
