A review by kai_wanders
Inhibitor Phase by Alastair Reynolds
Not my favourite RS book - it felt kind of unnecessary to the overall plot of the series - but still enjoyable and I'll probably reread next time I go through the series. I felt the flashback to Mars bits in particular fizzled out way more disappointingly than they should have given the significance of what happened to the characters.
I like that it doesn't perfectly match the pro/epilogue of Absolution Gap - it gives a whole "reality is messy and things don't tie up neatly and events have a lot of contributing factors" feel that I really enjoyed
Probably would have been 3 stars, but I added an extra half for it missing most of the ableism of the earlier RS books, and Goodreads won't let me rate it 3.5, so 4 it is I guess?
