Eyes of the Void
by Adrian Tchaikovsky (Tor, 2022); audiobook read by Sophie Aldred (Tor, 2022)
While undoubtedly advancing the trilogy as a whole, this second book lacks the punch of the first instalment. There are big developments and some new characters, but overall far too much focus on insipid, pitiable Idris. (O for a dash more Ollie…!)
