A review by ianbanks
A Song of Stone by Iain Banks

4.0

After the comparative niceness of the last few books we are back into full-on grimdark mode for this edge-of-war novel, set in an unnamed place with a deeply complex and amoral protagonist trying to stay alive as a band of soldiers take over his ancestral home. Not really one for those who thought The Crow Road had a bit of a sarcastic edge, I fear. Great for everyone else, though.
