This was absolutely wonderful and I can't wait to reread the series. My new head canon is that this is how the Culture started. ❤️❤️❤️

Meh.
Forgettable.
Better than the second one but most of it was still about drinking tea.
The ending was fun though. And I still maintain that Seivarden is the best and most likable character in this series.

Great character building for main protagonist and the supporting cast. Many complaints were about too much tea but I did not have issues with the quirks presented throughout the story.

I look forward to additional stories which focus on The Lord of the Rauch. To avoid spoilers I will not discuss any further. The character as presented highly imaginative and shows the's inventiveness.
