I just finished Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and the first word to come to mind is a resounding "Eewwwwwwww". Just spiders, all the spiders. sigh It really was a very good book, and the story telling from the spider's perspective was wonderful, but 'ugh' it's hard to stomach some of the visuals they illicit. Definitely a solid recommendation though, and I can't wait to see where the next book takes the story. (Maybe think twice if you have a thing with spiders and an active imagination?)
I also finished Morning Star by Pierce Brown earlier this week. I'm addicted to this story and can't recommend it enough... Although Morning Star ends on a pretty high note and I'm reluctant to move on to the next book because it started at a really low point and can only be downhill from here. I kind of want to hold on to the high point for a while before moving on to "Iron Gold".
Next up is Abaddon's Gate by James Corey, the first two were pretty good. I've seen all of the TV show, so I'm curious how the books differ from The Expanse.
