A review by ihateprozac
Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky

2.0

This one was not for me, I was so intensely bored ;_____;

It took all of the slow and meandering elements I didn't like in the first book and ratcheted them up to 100. If this had been more planet-based and we got to follow the octopodes in closer detail I would've liked it.

Hell, you could've given me 500 pages of just Senkovi being mischievious and difficult
and I would've loved it!

Not a bad book but this style and story did not mesh with me. I wanted more from practically every encounter.
