a really interesting and unnerving journey. Definitely a book I need to re-read

The book started off a bit slow but the ending was amazing! I also understand what others meant when they said they could see the grander history of the Foundation play out in the background of the shorter stories; this was something I didn't really see in the first book, but the longer stories worked well for me here.

After the Sparrow crushed my heart and soul I knew I had to read the sequel as soon as possible - and I'm glad I did!

Children of God takes a deeper dive into the society of the Runa and Jana'ata in Rakhat, and I LOVED it. It makes the alien societies feel so much more real, and shows a very different and surprising perspective to what happened to Sandoz on Rakhat.

As for Sandoz... he still takes a beating in this book (quite literally), but overall, his journey of recovery is hopeful and I think this book wrapped up The Sparrow quite nicely.

I feel like this is a book I'll have to re-read again when I'm older to fully appreciate the message. Still, this is one of the best books I've read so far.

really interesting premise but the ending kind of fizzled out and felt very unsatisfactory. Still, I think this is a type of book that will stick with me for a long time.

crazy mind games in this book

Wow, what an interesting read! Peter Watts packs so many themes and ideas in this book; it was hard to follow at times but I’d recommend this to anyone who like hard sci-fi.
