The writing is superb.

The story revolves around a city on the edge & you learn about this alternate world/city from a variety of characters. The politics of this world are interesting & everywhere. I‘m hoping it‘s the start of a series.

This has a ton of characters, main/minor & everyone has a POV but none realllly stayed with me so I‘m hoping that book two has a significant amount of character development.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went to Goldsboro Books and may have overdone it a little. But TWO OF THESE ARE SOLD OUT ONLINE, and the Adrian Tchaikovsky was the only one in the shop. Every time I scrolled past it on the website, I was like 😢😢😢😢

RaeLovesToRead @Lizpixie I've only been here a few days and have already bankrupted myself 😶 There's so much exciting stuff here that isn't anywhere else!! (Not sure how I'll get it on the train though!) 2y

An occupied magical city on the cusps of revolution

With the book‘s shifting, bird‘s-eye POV, it reads a bit like a script for a play. You get dropped right in, with no hand-holding. I trust this author, so when I got confused at the start, I backtracked instead of DNF-ing; after I read 20% of the book to get the feel for the—oh so many—characters, I then read it again from the beginning, this time enjoying it greatly

Worth it. So worth it.

5/5

I was starting to get worried about my December Goldsboro box, because once January hit I still hadn't received it - but today it arrived! 💕📚 I think this is one of the most beautiful books they've ever sent! Look at that cover! Those page edges! 😍😱 Plus the story sounds amazing! #goldsboro #goldsborobooks

Went to an event at Waterstones. Adrian Tchaikovsky in conversation with an old school friend 😊 He was really interesting and I'm so impressed by how many books he's written!

Looking forward to checking out his fantasy writing.

Also need to find out where my copy of Children of Ruin is... it's got to be in my bedroom somewhere... 🤔

TheNeverendingTBR I found a signed copy of Children of Ruin at a charity shop for £1 🙊 2y
RaeLovesToRead @TheNeverendingTBR Have you read Children of Time?? I just got the 3rd one today 😇 2y
TheNeverendingTBR @RaeLovesToRead I haven't, I plan to at some point though. It's true what they say....so many books, so little time. 😏 2y

RaeLovesToRead @TheNeverendingTBR I overheard the man in Waterstones say that books are GOING UP IN PRICE... so it's a good job that I've already bought them all. I feel vindicated 😄 2y
TheNeverendingTBR @RaeLovesToRead I know what you mean! 😂 can't believe Waterstones would actually put their prices up, they're already steep! 😳 2y
TheNeverendingTBR @RaeLovesToRead I was in their last week and got a gorgeous illustrated copy of Dracula, so I think I'll do a re-read of that soon. 2y
RaeLovesToRead @TheNeverendingTBR I think I know which one you mean... it's beautiful 😍 I'll always shop at Waterstones because it's my happy place and I want it to always be on the high street! 2y
TheNeverendingTBR @RaeLovesToRead It's the red cloth one! 😍 Me too, I love it. I shop for second hand books like every other day but I treat myself once in a while to a Waterstones. 😁 2y
Gissy Wow! What an experience. I also need to read his books😳 2y
Cathythoughts Fantastic! 2y
RaeLovesToRead @Gissy @Cathythoughts He was really lovely and so passionate about the genre 😊 2y
Branwen This is so so awesome! I'm so glad you got to see him! 2y
Oryx Oh cool! I really liked the couple of books of his I've read. 2y
