Currently reading Children Of Time. Spaceships and spiders - still not sure I like the story but am 50% of the way through so will push to the end! Need to get through some of my backlog on kindle
I've seen a few people say the same thing so I am going to stick with it. The bits I like are really quite good.The sequel to 'Children of time' is also great. Octopodes in that one in place of spiders and a very ... different slant to the story but stick with it as it's a very rewarding ending, imo.

The "We're going on an adventure" bit was very jarring but the pay off is excellent at the end. One of those concepts that had me pondering for days after.
I loved the First Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, 'event' not withstanding. The world building and characters are very strong. It does get a bit preachy in places but I have fond memories of reading it in my teens and have re-read it twice since (a rarity for me as there are so many good books in the world).
I'm not so keen on the Second Chronicles though. They always felt like the result of a contractual obligation, rather than a story he wanted/needed to tell.
Still on the first book, not really capturing me to be honest.Forced myself to read the whole lot for closure and the second set of books are total pants.
