So … after Lives of Bitter Rain, I gave Children of Time a second try. Uplifted spiders meet desperate human diaspora … what can go wrong? Not as brilliant as The Tyrant Philosophers Series, but I finished it within a week—it is an amazing read.

Quotes by Minu Freitag (?)

“We are more than what we or others know about us. We are our experiences, our pasts, but we are also who we are today, and who we decide to be tomorrow—nobody can change that except us.”
