I usually don't like whodunnits but this one is full of twists and turns. All of the reveals are further worldbuilding, rather than just some character motivations. Strongly recommended!

Meh

Maybe it's just a product of its time, but all the witticisms and 'nerd humor' in this are extremely grating. I much prefer Charles Stross' actual SciFi works.

A bit confusing
3 stars
The world building is splendid but I found many of the motivations/sentiments of the characters to be described in a very confusing way. It is not unlikely that this is more of a me problem and not on the author at all.

A bit too action-packed for me
4 stars
The characters and worldbuilding, especially, in this book are excellent. However, basically every chapter is some sort of high-stakes battle or chase sequence. For me personally, that eventually got a bit taxing. If you're more into that kind of stuff, I'd heartily recommend it tho.
