He seemed to produce books non-stop, like an upgraded version of Sanderson, and with similar results. Afterwards, however, it was more of a hit and miss. Making spiders the protagonists of the book was a wonderful choice, giving the book a unique perspective and gravitas. Children of Time, Tchaikovsky’s first foray into SF, was great, too. It’s a huge commitment, sure, 10 books getting consecutively bigger, as if Tchaikovsky was bent on proving that a book can be a weapon, too □ – not unlike Erikson in that regard – but if you do commit, you’ll be rewarded. I still contend that his Shadows of the Aptseries is among the very best of epic and military fantasy out there. For a long time, Tchaikovsky was my go-to author.
