A review by psyckers
Inhibitor Phase by Alastair Reynolds
5.0
This book exhibits all the hallmarks of an epic Sci-fi novel from the acclaimed Alastair Reynolds.
The expansive and exquisitely detailed worlds and characters depicted in this book, is what we are accustomed from this beloved author. This time the pace of the story is considerably quicker than previous novels, with much emphasis on detail of characters, that vastly different to each other.
Likewise the reality of travelling through space towards distant worlds (no such thing as warp drives here, you need to 'reefersleep').
As compelling as the story is, I did feel the ending was a little bit rushed. Nonetheless it is a compelling and satisfying conclusion, though with enough loose ends to feel that a number of books could spawn from this one.
