A wonderfully complex key for a 3-book puzzle! Elaborate, heartfelt, it hurts even hours after ending it...

A fresh, modern Pacific Northwest story with a lot of heart, and in book format at that!

The tone and the characters were spot on believable. The plot is convoluted and offers a lot of mysteries, but also ties into several other folktales. Could have had a bit more returning scenes and characters.

Shorter, more concise and limited in pure epic grandeur, Children of Memory might seem like a downplaying of all the greatest hits from the first two books, but it feels more like the first two books were the understandings needed to be able to tell this one story about foreigness without it being too foreign. In this story, the actors are mostly too human, the setting very well-known from our own more primitive days, but the world mechanics themselves -- alien, and yet familiar in a way in which dreams of not yet realized futures usually are. We know the words, but Avrana Kern has to shepard us to there. A wonderfully optimistic read, even more so than the best of Star Trek.

I had certain expectations going into this book, and I think most fell short. The book contains many Chinese cultural references, and learning about these and getting rich snippets of history were very enjoyable, but they act as weak motivators going forward. At times, an interesting plot point would become too obvious too fast, and by the time the book was half-way done, the plot was fully exposed. The characters are very flat, having a background, family, and job only because the story needs to start from there, but quickly discarding all of those elements. Of all the points that made me pause and disengage from the plot, the one that hurt the most was when the main character basically forgets he has a family to turn to for support and care for what appear to be whole days or weeks. I presume they evacuated the premises? It just seemed like a father would have different priorities independent of everything else, at least a thought spared to his son while he travels the world, drinks and suffers intelligently... I'd not recommend this book to anyone looking for hard scifi, but I would recommend it to anyone looking for a more scifi Tom Clancy or Dan Brown! It flows and has quirky ideas it's not too concerned about. The narration was perfect.

Another conflict resolved through understanding, and another wonderful scifi book worthy of every praise. Human.

A story about ourselves, told from the outside in: in presenting a remarkably alien worldview in a very familiar way, the author was able to capture not only the core of humanity's struggles, but the core of life's struggles throughout. The book follows an old civilization, and a new one -- both interesting in their own right -- and their contacts have kept me on edge. I'd like to think that I understand spiders a bit better now.
