Children of Time (Children of Time, #1)
Adrian Tchaikovsky
A race for survival among the stars... Humanity's last survivors escaped earth's ruins to find a new home. But when they find it, can their desperation overcome its dangers? WHO WILL INHERIT THIS NEW EARTH? The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age—a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. Now two civilizations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?

i think about this book almost every day. not because i’m an intellectual but because there are two spiderwebs in my front lawn bush. And walking past them makes me think alllll about portia and bianca and their evolution o.o
what an impactful ending, too.
And despite the immense passing of time I still felt attached to and invested in both the human and non human characters.
