I'm just under halfway through this one and am loving it so far. I'm not surprised at the big events that have taken place so far, but the details that have lead to this point in the story have been incredible. Reading this one has given me an appreciation for the first novel, Children of Time, as Tchaikovsky did such a great job of world building and character development, which is paying off in spades.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out, and how it connects to the finale, Children of Memory.
