Unabridged Audiobook
Just completed a re-read after several years. Thoughts are about the same. Once you know the plot it loses some of it's allure. Reynolds' characters are a weakness, mostly doing things just to advance said plot. That said the world building is amazing, and the flashback storyline starts quickly becomes as engaging as the rest of the book. A glimpse into a vast world spanning light years with a nice baroque/steampunk twist. A great place to start the Inhibitors series/Revelation space.
