From the award-winning master of sci-fi Adrian Tchaikovsky, Children of Memory is the unmissable follow-up space opera to the highly acclaimed Children of Time and Children of Ruin.
On Imir, Captain Holt founded a new colony on an empty world. In the process, he created hope and a new future for humanity. But, generations later, his descendants are struggling to survive.
As harvests worsen and equipment fails, strangers appear in a town where everyone knows their neighbour. Now the inexplicable lurks in the woods and the community fears that it's being observed – that they’re not alone.
They’d be right, as explorers from the stars have arrived in secret to help this lost outpost. Confident of their superior technology, and overseen by the all-knowing construct of Doctor Avrana Kern, they begin to study their long-lost cousins from Earth.
Yet the planet hides deeper mysteries. It seems the visitors aren’t the only watchers. And when the starfarers discover the scale of their mistake, it will be far too late to escape.
Children of Memory by Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author Adrian Tchaikovsky is a far-reaching space opera spanning generations, species and galaxies.
Praise for the series:
‘Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human’ – Patrick Ness, author of A Monster Calls
‘Brilliant science fiction and far-out world-building’ – James McAvoy
‘A fabulous sense of scale that only someone as talented as Adrian Tchaikovsky can pull off’ – Peter F. Hamilton, author of Exodus: The Archimedes Engine

Third one out

Unfortunately, the middle part was not written in a way that made it an enjoying read. It's the kind of book that I'm happy to have read, but did not enjoy reading.
I remember thinking the author was trying too hard to make something different from the previous two books (which were great) and ended up overshooting his goal. It's a natural continuation of the previous books, but it's written in a convoluted way. The mystery is made more obscure by the unnecessarily obscure writing. It felt repetitive, the bad kind of philosophical where it's lofty for loftiness' sake, and it felt like the story could have been shortened substantially without losing anything important. I understand the need to give the feeling of time passing, but it should be possible to achieve without getting tiresome/boring.
Based on what I've seen in other reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. And yet, they tend to give it 4 or 5 stars. I assume it is because they're writing the review right after they've finished the book and are still marvelling at the ending. For me the ending made it 3 stars instead of two. And the ending IS great! But a book, in my opinion, is more than the ending. Or it should be. If not, why not just skip to the ending or read a summary?

An evolution of the Children series

But unlike the previus two books, this one also digs into the question of who and what are sentient, and what that means.
Philosophy students may recommended to read this book as a case study.
what is sentience, really?
