Aneel reviewed The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks
Review of 'The Algebraist' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Erik loaned me the UK edition. It's good — a solid adventure with plenty to think about. It's a refreshing departure from a lot of the issues raised in the Culture books, set in what feels like a more densely populated universe. I felt like the resolutions of some of the plot threads were forced, though. Things just fall into place too easily.
