Hi everyone! I'm a very avid reader and would love to add more reading people to The StoryGraph. The more friends, the more books I may want to read I'll see!

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)?

[–] leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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!
