reviewed House of Open Wounds by Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Tyrant Philosophers, #2)

Adrian Tchaikovsky: House of Open Wounds (2023, Head of Zeus) 4 stars

City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to bring Perfection and Correctness to an imperfect world. …

Book 2 lets go

5 stars

Really loved the first book in this series so even with developing the characters and world further and the addition of a demon sex workers character, it can only get a 4.5 to differentiate it from book 1.

set in a military camp this time, it appeared as a departure from a lot of the themes from the first book but it maintained the polygod central plot.

Definitely enjoyed and would recommend and am not sure where book three is gonna take us, but i am in for the ride.

reviewed City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Tyrant Philosophers, #1)

Adrian Tchaikovsky: City of Last Chances (2022, Head of Zeus) 4 stars

Arthur C. Clarke winner and Sunday Times bestseller Adrian Tchaikovsky's triumphant return to fantasy with …

Second Go this time with the sequels

5 stars

I really think this is one of my favourite AT novels I have read.

My simple pitch, this is the fantasy novel equivalent of Fredy Perlmans "Worker-student action committees".

full stop.

reviewed Lords of Uncreation by Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Final Architecture, #3)

Adrian Tchaikovsky: Lords of Uncreation (Paperback, 2023, Tor Books) 5 stars

He's found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it? …

Finale

5 stars

Just wrapped up this series and very much appreciated it. It had both the scale of everything but still kept the story and characters within a time and place that was easy to comprehend.

many sympathetic characters and many despicable.

By the end I had trouble keeping track of the different factions involved in the grand scale of all the issues, but I appreciated the application of three way fight logistics, and cataclysmic problems.

happy I read it and for anyone Adrian Tchaikovsky pilled it is a great series.
