Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
It's spiders! Nobody warned me it was spiders! I've come round to the spiders (I love them now, obviously) but the human chapters dragged and I definitely skimmed one.

Children of Time reviewed by @kepler22b
the spider chapters are extraordinary, actual evolutionary reasoning generation by generation. the human chapters are a dull frame holding them up. i'd read the version that was only spiders.9 out of 10@kepler22b
