Welcome to this week’s Reading Roundup! At last, I have managed to finish the book that I mentioned last week. I had to pace myself with it, to do it justice, so it took me a long time to read it.

Here it is…

Lords of Uncreation is the final book in Adrian Tchaikovsky’s The Final Architecture trilogy. This is the blurb:

“He’s found a way to end their war, but will humanity survive to see it?

Idris Telemmier has uncovered a secret that changes everything – the Architects’ greatest weakness. A shadowy Cartel scrambles to turn his discovery into a weapon against these alien destroyers of worlds. But between them and victory stands self-interest. The galaxy’s great powers would rather pursue their own agendas than stand together against this shared terror.

Human and inhuman interests wrestle to control Idris’ discovery, as the galaxy erupts into a mutually destructive and self-defeating war. The other great obstacle to striking against their alien threat is Idris himself. He knows that the Architects, despite their power, are merely tools of a higher intelligence.

Deep within unspace, where time moves differently, and reality isn’t quite what it seems, their masters are the true threat. Masters who are just becoming aware of humanity’s daring – and taking steps to exterminate this annoyance forever.”

And now we have my response as written on Goodreads:

Lords of Uncreation by Adrian Tchaikovsky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great ending to a fantastic series. I knocked off one star because the first half of the book was a bit slow and somewhat overloaded with all of the different points of view. However, I must credit the person or people who decided to put lists of the characters, a timeline, and a recap of the story into the book. These were so helpful to someone, like me, who has problems with memory!

The second half really picked up the pace and lead to satisfying resolutions to the different aspects of the plot. Tchaikovsky is such an inventive writer with an incredible imagination. I am in awe of how his mind comes up with such amazing ideas, characters and scenarios and cannot wait to read what he comes up with next.

I think I will have to choose something completely different for my next read. Tchaikovsky’s work is brilliant and amazing, but it takes a huge amount of concentration, which I struggle to achieve!

Happy Reading to you all!

Love and best wishes,
