Elder Race

4 ⭐s! Elder Race was short but overall a fun read packed with elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and existentialism.

I really enjoyed the differing POVs on how language and said words are interpreted based on the varying levels of understanding.

I went into this book thinking it would be more sci-fi focused but was happily surprised by the quick blend of both fantasy and science.

To anyone who doesn't fully understand technology, it can be easily perceived as magic.

With this being my first Tchaikovsky read, I will definitely be diving into more of his work.

“This is nothing but a tower, and I am nothing but a scientist of sufficiently advanced technology, which is to say a magician.”
