lofusexy Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 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.

Kreader Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Crisis Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
