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.

reviewed Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky (The Final Architecture, #1)

Adrian Tchaikovsky: Shards of Earth (Paperback, 2022, Orbit) 5 stars

The war is over. Its heroes forgotten. Until one chance discovery . . .

I just devoured this one for a refresher before starting the next two books in the trilogy. Really like AT's world building and how his prose really paints me a picture that looks just like 70's sci-fi mate paintings and book covers.

and as always this book features invertebrates as a plot point like so many of his stories!

....and multi-party conflicts, world ending crisis, class and gender politics, revolutions, the occult and cults, and other standards of good sci-fi in my opinion.
