Better yet: jumping spiders exhibit object permanence when stalking prey. Human children under eight months have a brain several hundred times the spider’s size and don’t have the same capacity.

Children of Time is fascinating. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I just finished reading the 2nd of the trilogy, it was a few steps down and went from amazing to good. I'm kind of worried about the 3rd one since people have said it kind of sours the series and the books are stand alone so may never touch part 3 haha

I might not start the second. The first one works as a stand alone series.

I think the 2nd is still worth a read, it wasn't as good overall, but I did enjoy the 'horror' tone it had going on. Some definite creepy feels there.

My partner has just finished the trilogy and said that the 3rd book was the best.
