Adrian Tchaikovsky - Shadows of the apt

[lofusexy]

Ive just spotted book 4 of Adrian Tchaikovsky's, 'Shadows of the apt' series on amazon! A great big click and buy now moment . Just wondered if anyone else has read these brilliant and original books. I just loved the 'kinden' idea, humans sharing insect-like atributes, a very interesting twist on evolution.

I've enjoyed these books and their world too. I've only read up to book 3. I also like their inventions and theories. Che may be average and boring to some but I like her and her uncle. All Che's peers appear to be maturing in different directions.

I started the first book last year, but I couldn't get into it at all. I liked what I'd heard about it (the whole Kinden thing), but I had to force myself to read the first couple of chapters.

It's a shame because I wanted to enjoy it. I might give it another go this summer

I read the first book last week. I enjoyed it, overall. I was worried, because the first hundred pages or so was quite pedestrian, then it really picked up and I thought the next 300 or more pages was brilliant. Then it sagged quite alarmingly towards the end.

 

But I have bought the next couple and will read them with interest
