The rating is provisional. I discovered this book on a list of BSFA award winners and didn't realize it was the third of a series. As such I spent the first third of this book trying to figure out what the heck was going on. Although I finally got the sense of things, I am certain there nuances I missed, especially at the very end. Very complex worldbuilding coupled with minimalist word usage. At times very reminiscent of William Gibson both in style and the exposition of advanced ideas. I very much intend to read the first two books in the series and then revisit this one. I anticipate a one, if not two, star upgrade to the rating.
