Unexpectedly profound

I’m still thinking about Children of Memory, a few days afterwards. In its final chapters, the story goes wide on ideas he’d been planting through the whole series, about appreciating sentience, and seeing beyond one’s own species.
In each of the earlier books, we watched characters ultimately overcome their assumptions and prejudices, to accept and connect with other cultures quite different from their own. In the last pages of this book, in the guise of story, I was suddenly presented with an opportunity to make a similar leap myself — to reconsider what thinking is, and expand my own definition of culture.
Also, great Corvid dialogues.
