Read Series: Shadows Of The Apt

by Author Adrian Tchaikovsky

Book

The Sea Watch (2011)

The Sea Watch is the sixth book in the Shadows of the Apt series and starts off as pacey as ever with mysteries and conspiracies abounding! :D The Sea Watch picks up from where the previous book in the series, The Scarab Path, left off but with focus returning to Collegium and the various truces...

The Scarab Path (2010)

Book five of the Shadows of the Apt was a welcome return to the series post war with the Empire. In the previous books, the author would alternate writing styles that first focus on character development, and then a switch in focus on the war and politics. This book is a return of focus on some o...

Salute the Dark (2010)

This one is more like 4.5 stars, or almost 5 stars. I struggled with the beginning of the book because I was little burned out from plowing through the first 3 so quickly. However, this book picks up around the midpoint and then does not slow down until the end. I particularly found it interestin...

Blood of the Mantis (2009)

Despite the fact that all but the 7th book in the Shadows of the Apt series were written before I started reading the first one, I can’t help but feel that Adrian Tchaikovsky somehow channeled my review of Dragonfly Falling when he was writing Blood of the Mantis. It is far more likely that Tcha...

Pád Vážky (2009)

This one was excellent and a perfect follow-up to the first book in the series. I did begin to see some of the author's influences in this one. There is definitely some "LOTR" influence with the concept of a broken fellowship and the reliance on unexpected allies. Obviously, the presence of an ev...

Impérium černé a zlaté (2008)

Great imagination! Great ideas. Writing needs work. However, this is the first book in the series and he has written 10 books in the series. I hear that his writing gets better. If his writing can catch up to his imagination than this could be one hellluva series. I will come back to this. We wil...

Imperium Czerni i Złota (2000)

A very interesting premise and setting, and a clever way of instantly characterizing the involved people by making use of real-world concepts. The triplicate layer of the setting's powers is marked improvement on most other fantasy stories, that usually have just the 'old magic' vs. 'new industri...

Dragonfly Falling (2009)

i didn't like this installment in the series.i was quite fond of the first book, but ii felt like this one lacked both character development, and plot development. both were there, but felt mediocre. i really feel like the first two books could have been one novel, as reading them both in one sit...

Empire in Black and Gold (2008)

I enjoyed it and i think the level of creativity is really high, i must say he could maybe have descirbed the characters and landscapes etc. a little bit more, because I struggeled to form a clear picture of the area and such details in my head. This does leave quite a lot of room for your imagin...
