"Avrana Kern has only limited and artificial emotional responses, being dead and a computer composed at least partially of ants."
#AdrianTchaikovsky 's Children of Time was one of my favourite reads this year. The sequel took a little bit longer to grow on me, but the alien life in this first contact story is memorably, wonderfully creepy, and overall this is another excellent book. Looking forward to getting started on the third! #Bookstodon @bookstodon
