Jensi 🏴🚩 • he/him reviewed Children of Strife by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Time, #4)
A bit weaker, but still a strong instance of the series
5 stars
While keeping this review spoiler-free, I want to tease: We get a new species for our society! Yay! The big downside of book 4 is a shortage of editing, or more so, shortening: Several text passages are redundant, especially in conveying cultural aspects. A smaller downside for me is that a certain character again gets important for the plot; but this character is definitive one of the best parts of the whole series though. So while I found this book to be the weakest of the currently 4 books, it is really relative to its sophisticated environment.
