What did you think of the Children of Time series? I loved the first one, and enjoyed the second though it didn't capture me as much. Is the third one worth reading (no spoilers)?
I have the ability to listen to whatever I want at work so I hardly ever fail to finish a book unless it's really not pulling me in.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it was nowhere near as good as the first two but it certainly was different and not in a way I found interesting. A bit slow to get to the point I guess is how I would say it.
Made me think about sentience more than the first two, though I don't know if it alone provided enough info to really do anything beyond those initial moments of "huh, I guess that could be the case."
I've read them too and first one was amazing, second one was good but repetitive. Third one I finished but didn't like. The story gets repeated over and over
Its OK and worth reading just for the sake of completion but its not as good as 2 and nowhere near as good as the first one.
Ahh that's a shame - I've heard elsewhere that the third one was a return to form. I'll have to read it either way and see what I think.
I definitely say read it and me saying its not as good as 1 or 2 is just my opinion :)
