A review by hugewizard
Excession by Iain M. Banks

adventurous challenging medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

A bit of a jumbled mess. Ideas are good and there are some great bits, but overall the form is hard to parse, there are too many meaningless threads, and it's not quite worth the slog.
