Although it starts not really very well and the writing and conversation feels very wooden and clishe like after about half into the book the whole story picks up to a really nice finale.
Science fiction Banks, but not Culture? What is this madness! A dark heist novel, really, and quite a fast-paced one, too. Lots of stuff in it; perhaps a bit too much. The book feels a bit crammed. Some of these ideas might've been best used elsewhere. But despite the heaviness, the book was captivating enough to finish and quite interesting.
