Far less graphic after the initial third of the book.
It wandered a bit, showcasing different parts of the Culture universe. It was mostly enjoyable but shouldn't have been the series start. I also think it would have been better if about 100 paged had been cut.

The graphic content got a bit much. I'll try to reread this in a better headspace.
