The Vorrh by Brian Catling
I'd rate this with the usual number of stars but it would genuinely change page by page.
I think genre might have done this one a disservice (being broken up into a trilogy) by not releasing as a single, massive volume as this book slightly suffers from Oryx and Crake syndrome: the main story arguably only progresses on the last five pages. Besides, there are so many threads, characters, and subplots that I genuinely couldn't tell you if there's a (proper noun) Protagonist or if that's even a problem.
All of which is me saying wait for the final book to release then read them all in a row, unless you thought Pinocchio should have been a trilogy, too, and you're happy for Episode 1 to just be a slow pan of his father shaving off the exposition.
...3-5-3-4-2-5...
