Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Monday, February 2, 2026
I finished Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky a while back. I can’t give a detailed review of it - or even a synopsis of the plot - without dropping spoilers, but it’s a good, meaty hard sci-fi book about evolution and terraformed planets and the drawbacks of being locked in a cryochamber for centuries, and other things. SECRET things. SPOILERY things. 📚 CoT won an Arthur C Clarke award. There’s a lot of big, expansive themes in the book that remind me of Clarke’s writing, so it makes sense.
