The Algebraist

It was very good but , personally not to the level of others. It was very descriptive and so much time was spent in creating the world I can see why others thought it should have been the start of a longer series and not a standalone.

Overall a very satisfactory read, but missing this slight part that would have made it outstanding. Especially when you can never really shelf off those deep mind Culture book thoughts. But overall a fantastic book absolutely worth reading. Recommended
