A review by aphrael
Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Within the first few chapters I called that there would be 
giant spiders, and the writer called me out for my arachnaphobia. I really disliked picturing the spiders, and not researching the writers inspiration
but I did like the book. It was really tragic and hopeful and interesting. I normally don't like stories that happen over a really long time scale, but with cryo and different generations having the same name, it really helped to stay in the story. I will try to read some more by this author, but hopefully there will be fewer
spiders
