The whole trilogy was great, and I was sad when I finished The Children of the Sky because there weren't any more books set in that universe left to read.
Another space opera I felt the same way about is Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga. There's also a trilogy and some other novels set in the same universe. 99% of the fiction I read is space opera, and the Commonwealth universe is definitely my favorite. So action-packed and enthralling, couldn't put the books down. As a matter of fact — it's been a few years since I've read them, and I'm almost done with Lords of Uncreation, so I think I may read it again :)
- etrautmann 3y agoChildren of Time has some complementary themes, ideas, vibes if you enjoyed those.
- buildbot 3y agoThe Commonwealth Saga has so much world building and depth to it - with a really wide selection of characters and ideas. Some of which make people uncomfortable, but IMO that is the point of all speculative fiction - "what if?"
- BillSaysThis 3y agoInteresting -- I read the Commonwealth books and really enjoyed them but still prefer his earlier Night's Dawn series.
