And Put Away Childish Things

Enjoyed this one although it isn't as good as his other works. Which isn't to say this was bad, Adrian Tchaikovsky has a tremendous catalog.

A dark and rotting fantasyland novella. The characters were likeable, some nice ideas and thought provoking. Very clear and visual story telling.

It is a novella however it did feel rushed. I kept thinking humans would be a lot more shaken up by witnessing the real life childrens characters and world. I wanted a bit more of Harry's background and his life, it could have helped with a bit more on why he is so defeated so that we believe he wants to change for the better. Very straight to the point in story line, compared to the gradual and story building of Ogres.

Overall I did enjoy this story and 3/5 stars is good. I did love Ogres and other works by this author, this one maybe wasn't my cup of tea. I can tell others will really enjoy it. He is an extremely skilled writer and his stories are always vivid.
