Really enjoying this so far. Herbert is delving more into the humanity of his characters at the start of this and I’m loving it. There’s a beautiful poetry in the way he describes memory, environment, conversation- delightful stuff

This is really starting to pick up. Want more Octopus history but starting to worry we aren’t going to get it. Still, the other material is top notch, especially the business about the Scary Disease (TM)

Enjoying this so far. Finding it a little hard to penetrate than Children of Time. In CoT Tchaikovsky had the advantage of the deep time and dozens of chapters to build up one’s understanding of the complex, hyper-alien biological tech of the Portiids, in this one we get dropped in the deep end just as we’re learning to keep afloat. Gonna have to be a patient reader with this one

No one has a talent for point out history’s dramatic ironies like Erik Larson. I have a really deep bad feeling in my stomach listening to this.

Really liking this so far. Insanely gorgeous art, good paneling and solid writing.

My god did this take a turn.
