I wouldn’t say the writing was ‘bad’ but it certainly didn’t grip me. The details seemed too complicated for my brain to grasp. Maybe other readers got on better with it. If there’s going to be a 3rd book in the series, I really doubt I’d read it!

I’d always say it’s due to bad writing rather than you. Good writing would make even the most complex science interesting and easy to grasp if done the right way. 🙂

I hadn’t read any other of his work before Children of Time. I think based on this and the sequel, I probably won’t read any more. I don’t read a lot of sci-fi, and not much fantasy at all, so it would take a lot for me to read more of an author I don’t love already 🙂

Perhaps I will pick up Children of Time once I have forgotten about Dogs of War, but Children of Ruin probably won’t tempt me.
