A review by vamshiaruru
Matter by Iain M. Banks

2.0

I really wanted to like this book, but it wasn't just for me. I didn't like the writing style, I didn't like how there were several pages of just straight up info dump. I didn't like the super slow pacing for a very simple plot. Also doesn't help that the characters were cliched or tropey.

I feel like I would have enjoyed this book for the world building alone if I was in a different mood while reading it. But rn, I feel like this would have been better as a much shorter novel.
