This book is in high demand at my library, even though it's not a particularly new release. So I was nice and read it over the weekend. It's on the long side, and the plot is interesting. There's not a ton of science, but a lot of world building.

This book was great. It was hard to find the flow, but it fit! The end was so confusing for me, but that's not that bad

I enjoyed this book the way that everything started developing and all the progress seen on the spiders was something really cool though I have to say that the humans weren't as interesting as the spiders on the spider side you saw rebellions, revolutions the rising of a new society the sexism and a lot of amazing stuff while the humans were doing nothing as cool everytime I was brought to the human side I was reading as fast as I could to keep expanding on the spiders but however I think this book is truly good and I bet that on the next one with the events last seen will be really awesome

This one grows on me. First read was a 3.5. Second read was a 4.5. I’ll take the balance of the two.
Pro: Just cracking writing. Pacing, characterizations, mechanics, prose — great execution. Characters that I cared about even when I didn’t like them. Made me think. Changed my attitudes, as others have said. Clever commentary on real-life gender roles.
Con: With the technical challenges AT has set for himself with this one, there’s a little less room to fill in characterizations. You’re going to have to dig up some empathy on your own here.
