Spider Civilization.
I like TFA a lot, but it is very character driven. CoT is a collectivist story, the non-human-centric story reads like David Attenborough is narrating it. I like that part a lot.
The human/character driven parts of the story feel a bit tacked-on and not actually critical to the themes and messages of the story.
I think it is worth a read, and the sequels are more character driven than CoT.
- cmrx64 3y agoMaybe I was hallucinatung more detail than was there, but I found parts of the book had stunning parallels between the themes of each storyline, where the symbolic struggles by each cast of characters informed or reflected somehow the struggles of the other.
