Alien Clay Spoiler-Free Review | Adrian Tchaikovsky Sci-Fi

[@esmayrosalyne]

Glad to hear that Tchaikovksy delivered once again for you. I am quite intrigued by this premise, and I like that it stands so well on its own. Great review!

[@dominishbooks]

Yeah, as with many books, there are tendrils there that you can see being explored in a follow-up book, but it certainly reads as a standalone.

[@akellerhouse83]

Tchaikovsky writes so fast! I'm actually reading his book, House of Open Wounds right now. It's a sequel to City of Last Chances. I didn't even know there was a sequel until a few days ago. I'm sure I'll read this new one at some point. I'm trying to read all his works.

[@dominishbooks]

That one didn't really take my fancy, which in a way is good, as it's one less book (or pair of books, at present) for me to get through!

[@PonderingsOfPete]

just wait until you hear how many he has planned. I think he's at least mostly done with the third one already

[@zuzanaochmanova2652]

Oh, i have read City of Last chances a month ago and really enjoyed it! it was so different ... I also hearead that House of Open Wounds is better and that it is like "fantasy M.A.S.H." and I am so intrigued! :D I also hope we will explore the interesting world more in there

[@PonderingsOfPete]

@@zuzanaochmanova2652 yup! House of Open Wounds is great, can confirm. Fantasy M.A.S.H. Is a really good descriptor, especially since the darker his books get, the more Tchaikovsky’s humor comes out, which is absolutely true in HoOW. Still not a comedy to the extent of the show, but more strangely humorous. And it benefits (in terms of broader appeal) from being more character focused than City of Last Chances was.

[@ZOMGfantasy]

Awesome review, Dom! Yet another Tchaikovsky hit! I'll be picking this one up soon for sure

[@dominishbooks]

Thanks, yeah he is a reliable author!

[@PonderingsOfPete]

looking forward to picking this up later this year. Tchaikovsky with another banger is always gonna be on my TBR

[@dominishbooks]

He is certainly reliable!

[@readbykyle3082]

Really excited to give this one a try soon. I wasn't able to get to it before release but Tchaikovsky always hits for me so I'm expecting another success.

[@dominishbooks]

I hope this is another winner for you!

[@codykonior]

What a great review!

[@ControlReelWriter]

Really a complete review. Thanks.

[@dominishbooks]

Thank you, I hope you enjoy the book if you pick it up.

[@terryrudge9840]

You're teasing me to try AT again !!

[@dominishbooks]

Spiderlight is only 300 pages. Otherwise, Empire in Black and Gold might do you well!

[@abhishekdev258]

I have read the book, I am kind of confused regarding those structures. What are they? A Cenotaph? Whatever those structures are what purpose do they serve? Why is that Planet's biology keen on building it?

[@dominishbooks]

It was a while ago now, so I'll be honest - I can't remember if that question was ever explicitly answered. There were a number of theories, but with the way it ended, I don't remember that part being answered for definite.

[@abhishekdev258]

@@dominishbooks damn...

[@rafm3068]

So far, Im enjoying Alien Clay more than Cage of Souls.

[@dominishbooks]

I haven't read Cage, it didn't appeal so much. Alien Clay was typical Tchaikovsky weird though!
