About this deal

Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire before heading off to Reading to study psychology and zoology. Great characters, excellent suspense, a little frayed at the end and a few editing glitches thrown in. In many ways the ebbs and flows of the characters felt very organic, and for all the cynicism built into the series about how bad humanity can act, and the entropic evil before the beginning of time, there is still a lot of heroic hope here. From Idris, Solace, Olli and Kris the humans from the incredible cast of alien creatures including Kit, Ash, Aklu and many more, a huge world with cultures and quirks is expanded on with each book.

Best known for his enthralling Children of Time series, Adrian Tchaikovsky is an award-winning British science fiction and fantasy author. Kudos to him for making this a three part arc with a real and satisfying ending instead of trying to leave it open for more sequels.

The guy just keeps reinventing the wheel, breathing new life into old tropes, and in the last 5 years or so, has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Why torture it to those formats with all this padding and endless reminiscing, if you can tell a compelling story in one novel of average length? Tchaikovsky has created a remarkable trilogy that repays close reading and captures the fullness of the worlds we live in and the choices we are forced to make.

Closing the covers of my hardcover edition and putting the book back on its shelf had me sigh contently. The frequency with which they are entering and being pulled out of that place to deal with yet more inconsequential filler turned the book into a slog. Tell the Resplendent it is fucking on, she said to Sathiel, and by extension everyone else in system.Without dropping any spoilers, the book ties up almost every loose thread, wraps up the story and left me thinking about what I'd read for quite a while after I finished it. Hat mir deutlich besser gefallen als der zweite Teil, der etwas daran litt, der mittlere zu sein mMn. Oh, and everybody who has already read the first two books will read this one as well anyway, of course. Yes, it was to be expected, the chickens had to come home to roost - which is why that coup was rather like a wrench thrown into gears. This picks up just where the prior installment left off and utilized the same main characters as previously, oscillating among them as the narrative unfolds.

Lords of Uncreation opens from the viewpoint of Andecka, an Intermediary whose brain has been carved up to make her sensitive to the mind of an Architect. Then he turned directly to SFF as an amazing medium for re-envisioning the mind and the worlds it creates. Deep within unspace, where time moves differently, and reality isn’t quite what it seems, their masters are the true threat. The second book featured tense action scenes, a conspiracy by a human faction and an installation on a hellish planet with weird alien life.I'm aware that I'm probably just posting this because I'm in that withdrawal state after you finish a book/series that you loved so much that you grieve a bit when it's over. The mysterious thread throughout the series is definitely resolved in unexpected ways and it totally worked for me. It is pointless to the rest of the novel and story; it treads THE EXACT SAME GROUND as the second half of Eyes of the Void. The Eye is surrounded by fragments of a vast spaceship which turns out to be its own unique design created by some unknown species.
