Inhibitor Phase by Alastair Reynolds
3.0
I expected 2 things from this latest Revelation Space book.
1. the main character wouldn't be who he thinks he is
2. important characters would die off screen and we'd only find out about it from dialogue
Both of those happened.
What I didn't expect was to revisit some of the unsatisfying plot lines of Absolution Gap, like the destruction of Yellowstone, or Ararat after the moon blew up, and give them a more detailed conclusion.
It reads more like well researched fan fiction from someone disappointed by the end of the main trilogy who is trying to include all the tropes, than a well planned conclusion.
Maybe I'm just still sad about Absolution Gap.
