Ogres | Adrian Tchaikovsky
6 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Ogres are bigger than you. Ogres are stronger than you. Ogres rule the world. Its always idyllic in the village until the landlord comes to call. Because the landlord is an Ogre. And Ogres rule the world, with their size and strength and appetites. Its always been that way. Its the natural order of the world. And they only eat people sometimes. But when the headmans son, Torquell, dares lift his hand against the landlords son, he sets himself on a path to learn the terrible truth about the Ogres, and about the dark sciences that ensured their rule.

I loved this 2023 nominee for the Hugo Best Novella award. It seems at first a fairy-tale-like fantasy novel but turns out to be quite different, as secrets about the world are slowly revealed to both the protagonist and reader. It's also told in an unusual second-person voice.

kwmg40 @TieDyeDude I'd only read Elder Race by this author but I've just started Children of Time and am really liking it so far. The series is a nominee for Hugo Best Series this year. 8mo

I only read 25 books in March. Book slump & hectic work.

Here are 16 of the best books! A significant amount of 5 star books.

Clwojick Awesome! The Passengers, The Book of Cold Cases and My Heart is a Chainsaw have all been on my TBR for ages. Glad you loved them! 2y
Twainy @Clwojick I keep trying SGJ. While I felt that I‘d read a similar book just last year by him (The Last Final Girl) this is the first book of his that I‘ve give more than 3.5stars to. I‘m not giving up on him. I‘ve owned Mongrels since it came out, I need to bump it up the TBR. ⭐️ 2y

📚Adrian Tchaikovsky is quickly becoming an auto buy author for me!

I loved this book! I pre-ordered the hardcover last week.

Dystopian world. Humans are serfs/slaves to genetically superior Ogres! Yes! Ogres! There are twists & turns.

Torquell is the rebellious son of the Ogre‘s human head man and makes a dangerous mistake that sends him on the run for his life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👇🏻

Twainy Why are humans subservient to genetically enhanced ogres? Torquell is poised to find out … a mixture of genres in a quick read voiced in 2nd person which makes you wonder who is telling the story?

Tchaikovsky is just cranking out great books like a machine! I‘m looking forward to the audiobook!!!

Great novella! 2y

It took a bit to get into the second person narrative. It is a style I don't see often and it reads oddly for me. But wow did that last couple of pages make up for it!
This was a fun read about normalization and rebellion, it gave me some Hunger Games vibes (not the games themselves but the revolution aspect)
Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC this novella release is expected on March 22, 2022
