The Causal Angel by Hannu Rajaniemi
4.0
The culmination of the Jean le Flambeur trilogy absolutely sticks the landing.
The final song builds steadily to a crescendo, melding futuristic speculations with classic adventures. The minutiae remain barely comprehensible if you look too closely, but the ideas and concepts remain as fresh and fascinating and fun as ever.
Everything is impressively wrapped up, and in a manner that I didn't see coming, even mere pages before the end -- but which makes complete sense in retrospect. Impressive indeed!
