Download Beowulf’s Children Audiobook

" If you enjoyed Legacy of Heorot, you should like this sequel, which continues the story of the settlement of the planet Avalon, with a few new 'Avalon Surprises' added. "

" Cleopatra (the cat) arrives, terrorizes, make goal to finish first draft, scanning files, sick on last day of reading "

" Another sequel let-down. Not bad, but I yearned for it to be better. "

" I read this book at least once a year. "

" Not a terrible story by any means, but the gratuitous sex was a bit overdone. Also it is hard to believe that such educated and intelligent folk as the First would allow such actions as committed by the Second. If the Second were older the story would make more sense, but I do have a hard time seeing teenagers being able to plan such complex actions. "

" This is the sequel to The Legacy of Heorot. It's nowhere near as good as the original. The Grendels in the original had personality and were scary. The species that humans go up against in this one is some insect-like creatures. Even though they're just as deadly as the Grendels, they just don't evoke the same level of visceral fear like the Grendels. "

" The sci-fi emphasizes exobiology and the attempt at a utopian human colony on the planet Avalon. The planet comes alive in the description and the characters are interesting. But, how did three separate authors blend this all together? Very good. "

" grendels are cute "

" I was bored to tears with this book and was only able to finish it as it was a birthday gift from my dad who thought I'd enjoy it. I did not. "

" Reasonable as a sequel. Only read if you enjoyed original. "

" Not as good as the preceding book, Legacy of Heorot. "

" Not quite as good as Legacy "

" Much better than the first one in the series. The dynamics between the different generations add a lot more to what was previously just scary monster alien planet adventure story. "

" This book started slow for me; and by that I mean about 2/3 of the way in it started to get interesting... then it seemed that the ending was rushed and not satisfactory... but it was still worth a read. "

" Beowulf's Children is the Sequel to The Legacy of Heorot, the settlers think they have figured out the planet and the next generation is ready to take over, they think, and the planet has some deadly surprises for them..... "

" Not horrible, but I'd only bother to read if you quite enjoyed the first one. It's OK as a sequel. "

" Not nearly as solid as the first book in the series, reads rather as a contractual obligations book. Main flaws I found were in paired description sets timelining between, "What we arrived to see," And, "What we saw happening later," With minor inconsistencies. "

" Disappointing sequel to Legacy of Heorot. "

" ok but not great. pretty predictable. still entertaining "

" I really liked the Legacy of Heorot. I was hoping that this would be that good. It wasn't. These guys also did the same thing with "THe Mote in God's Eye" and "The Gripping Hand." The former was GREAT! the latter, not so much. "

" Sometimes a squeal can be almost as good "

" This would've made a nice short story... it needs 350 pages chopped out. If I wanted a soap opera, I'd quit my job, buy some bon-bons, and sit at home with the other ladies. "

" Found this one before Heorot. Good characterization. A love story. Good science. "

" Not as good as the legacy, but interesting enough for a sequel. "

" sequel to Legacy of Heorot. The next generation, leaving the island of Camelot to explore the mainland of Avalon. New terrors, external and internal also. An intelligent grendel. Interesting. "

" I chose to read this book based on the authors' previous works alone. I felt it was an enaging read. I am always looking for something different and I was not disappointed. Good read! "
