If I could give this more stars I would. The way Hadrian narrates his life to the reader is so interesting. There are several points after he describes an event where he isn't even sure if the event happened as he recalled or if he prefers remembering it that way. The story is insanely epic in scope and at no point could I guess what was next.
This is absolutely one of my favorite scifi books. The intricate detail put into the evolution of the spiders (among others) is wild and makes for such an interesting read.
The Book is wildly different from the previous two. I preferred the evolution focus of the first two books (Time and Ruin).
