BLIMEY! Phenomenal. You can almost smell the air you’re told not to breathe… genuinely ambitious biology and concrete solid character illustration. In the absence of a sequel, I’ve had to dive headlong into the #ShardsOfEarth trilogy 10/10 amazing writer #books 📚

I really REALLY want to love #AdrianTchaikovsky. #ChildrenofTime was just ok. Too cold. Too scientific journal. I got 7% in #ShardsofEarth and got hopelessly lost. Had to DNF. 😑 #booksky

Context is everything - the vast size of the universe makes planet-sized Architects totally plausible! 6/10

I’m loving the character Olian Timo, for instance, and how she’s not always pleasant or nice but rather a realistic, flawed character. It’s so good to see someone use assistive technology in SF and no mealymouthed “this isn’t disability, it’s just cool SF tech” surrounding it. #shardsofearth

I don’t understand this UI, or the etiquette on this app, but I’d love to talk about #aptshadow ‘s book #shardsofearth with other people who read it. Do these books have a fandom? Do we gather anywhere in particular?

Thinking a lot about #shardsofearth and the divine Essiel being what the characters see as a religious cult, but also the existence of the broken harvest IS SO FASCINATING TO ME??
