Excession by Iain M. Banks
3.0
Excession is a difficult, and at times complicated read. It's narrative structure, vast array of characters and ideas make it almost overwhelming.
Over the course of the month it took to read and digest this novel my level of enjoyment hovered around 2, 3 and 4 stars. There were just too many side plots and distractions for my interest to remain constant. However, come the end Banks vast imagination and wealth of ideas won me over.
I adore The Culture series, as cold and challenging as they can sometimes be. And while this certainly isn't up there with the preceding three novels, it nevertheless impressed.
