Alastair Reynolds's critically acclaimed debut has redefined the space opera with a staggering journey across vast gulfs of time and space to confront the very nature of reality itself.

Review of 'Revelation space' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I was expecting a similar style to Reynolds' other books like Blue Remembered Earth (one of my favourites) and I found it to be very wordy. The story is interesting but coming off The Expanse books (I've read the first two so far), Revelation Space felt like a bit of a slog at times and a little too caught up in itself. I keep thinking of it as very European with somewhat drawn out dialogues where the characters seem to opt for this excessively honest, oral interaction.
