Jó volt a könyv, érdekesek a karakterek, de egyáltalán nem annyira, mint Banks más műveiben, amiket eddig olvastam. Szerintem kevésbé mászik bele a lélek mélységeibe, mint a Use of Weapons vagy a Player of Games, és mégcsak nem is meglepő a cselekmény.
Sőt, nagyon banális a vége. Én örültem volna, ha nincs happy end.

Of course, this is always assuming that none of your ship Minds were lying.
Oh, they never lie. They dissemble, evade, prevaricate, confound, confuse, distract, obscure, subtly misrepresent and wilfully misunderstand with what often appears to be a positively gleeful relish and are generally perfectly capable of contriving to give one an utterly unambiguous impression of their future course of action while in fact intending to do exactly the opposite, but they never lie. Perish the thought.
