Tavish reviewed Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds (Revelation Space, #1)
Review of 'Revelation space' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I really liked this.
But I can't help comparing it to Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth saga, which had more verbose world building, and many more parallel plot lines which converged in the end, and a lot more Chekov's guns(maybe used in other books of the universe).
Revelation space was darker, the plot was tighter, and it had a a bit of an edge on the science over Commonwealth saga.
