It‘s good but not nearly as good as the two previous ones in the series. It‘s entertaining but nothing really new is added or gets resolved. I think he just basically ran out of ideas.

I am so freaking bummed by the ending of this book! I wish this was a proper trilogy, and not a duology with a prequel set tens of thousands of years earlier tacked on at the end 😭

I have become addicted to this game I found while in lock down. It‘s called SKY: children of the light. It‘s a free app on your devices ! It‘s a relaxing and super beautiful game! But it may take up some of my reading time :( if any of y‘all play we should be friends! 🖤

Megabooks I‘m so glad! 💜💜 I‘ll try to get in touch tonight after dinner. How is Aggie?? 5y

Relaxing in Tatopani after trekking Thorong La Pass, just finished Deepness in the Sky and back to the Tines world.

Xeno How did you like Deepness? You should write a review! I‘m very slowly getting through it... 6y
dixonrichardj There was a lot of hype and a lot of people loved it, but I felt it was anticlimatic, so felt like a meandering ramble, and far less satisfying than the first 2 which were fantastic. 5y

Follow up to Fire Upon the Deep. Loved the Tines, one of the best alien species ever. Wolf-like creatures that are only sentient when in packs.
