The Player of Games

I'll be honest. Consider Plebias was kind of a slog in the back half to get through. But my God the universe Banks created was just too interesting to not keep going. As for this book the player of games this was much much smoother going down. It was a really detailed look at the actual culture and how it deals with other civilizations. I really enjoyed this book. So much I got the third in the series right away. I can only hope it's more player of games ish and less consider Plebias ish.
