Sam reviewed Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks

@sam@books.theunseen.city while I won't speak ill of any Banks, the next 3 are so good.
@loppear@bookwyrm.social The Player of Games was definitely my favorite, but I have a weird fondness for the way this one does vignettes of war movie tropes, except everyone dies in stupid and pointless ways at the end of each one. The comedy value is just perfect even though all the actual text is pretty serious.
