Lucas reviewed Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks (Culture, #1)
The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, …
Some ideas and set-pieces, but not much else?
2 stars
The only thing Horza can't change into is a worthwhile person.
First read this in middle-school and didn't think too much of it then. I wish there was more to get into in Consider Phlebas. There does seem to be some discussion to be had regarding The Culture concepts across novels, but in terms of what's in this novel I'm without big questions or insight.
I was expecting to want to continue reading the series, but now I'm ambivalent about that.
