I'm not going to summerize the plot; there've been many good descriptions. What got me full of trepidation was criticisms about pacing and how at the end everything was rushed to an unsatisfactory conclusion, as if the author was tired of his creation.
Well I just finished it and it's one of Banks' best works, I think. Yeah; it picks up and MOVES near the end and perfectly so, it narrows like the point of the spear: action is all. And why not? We'd gotten all the background, description, philosophy, diplomacy, court intrigue etc., all of which tend to slow down the narrative flow and all of which is vital.
But there came a point when action is all that's required and it's handled quite excitingly and beautifully. I say beautifully because the preceding 500 pages which built up to the ending had the heft to enable me over the next several days after I finished the novel to reflect upon it, its universe, its characters, so full of context. Breathtaking; reminds me of Look To Windward, for my money the other masterpiece in the Culture series.
