So lovely!

A wonderful story that manages a perfect synergy between eerie and cozy. Loved that this was my first read of the year.

Wonderful end to the series

Revisado: 10-15-23

I loved this end to the trilogy! Didn’t slow down, and the focus on Ollie was wonderful.

Miss Marple in Space

Revisado: 09-15-23

The last thing I expected was a cozy mystery/adventure yarn in the transition of Agatha Christie but set in space, but here we are, and I LOVED every page! Don’t miss out. Different but similar to the other connected novels, this one was maybe a bit less bombastic but more comfortable. 8/8 fancy teacups

My favorite of his books

Revisado: 05-10-23

This was an incredible performance, and I think my favorite of all a Adrian Tchaikovsky’s books. It was self contained, yet sprawling. I was riveted through the whole book, and will carry the characters along with me for sometime yet.

As good as the first-

Revisado: 03-27-23

A little slower and with a protagonist who faced the problem of reintroducing the entire cosmology from the first book; But so worth sticking with it to live in this world again for longer.

Wonderful sequel

Revisado: 11-01-22

Absolutely worth reading- a strong sequel that gave more of a voice to some of my favorites from the first book who originally didn’t feature as prominently. If you liked the first book this is just as, or even more satisfying. 10/10 space clams.

Dated sexism made it hard to like this one

Revisado: 10-04-22

I usually do love the author AND I think for 1968 there were a lot of break out things going in with gender, but th casual and frequent nature of sexist worldviews just really pulled me out in a way that I don’t recall ringworld books doing. I think it’s a problem of degree; it’s totally fine to enjoy this book knowing these things! —I just personally found myself being pulled out of the story and don’t think it holds up to the authors other works.

Well I needed to hear

Sometimes you just need a book to be a warm cup of tea after the sun is gone down, the house is quiet and the kids are all asleep.

Amazing

I’m so glad I picked this up. Her short stories are always excellent but this was sooo good and narrated really excellently to boot.

Don’t pass this up!

Revisado: 10-25-18

I first came to this book at a bad time, and couldn’t get into it. I am very grateful it came back to me some months later! I have really enjoyed the book and the performance. It is a wonderful and touching portrayal of one of my heroes of literary fiction. This book is a lot like having a good mug of coffee or tea in afternoon while sitting on the porch (in late summer). Its a feeling of general well-being has this book, and I don’t think my blustery October would have been quite so bearable without its quiet presence bubbling at the back of my thoughts. Do yourself a great favor and listen or read it.
