Reader voices

The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).

  • “I wanted to read Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky because I have previously read the first two books in the Children of Time series. If you have read the previous books, the themes of this novel will be nothing new. There is philosophical introspection…”

    ★ 3.5/5jimmybrewster on Hardcover

  • “This one hit different more than the previous two books. It was a puzzle box of a page turner and I enjoyed every minute of it.”
