Just finished Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks. Was looking for an epic space opera and it didn’t disappoint. I’d describe the story as “very good” but the world building as “outstanding”.

This is book 1 of the Culture series. Apparently book 2 is one of the best. Just about to start and can’t wait.

Looking at all the books in that series, it looks like they get better and better with each book. Thanks for sharing!

Apparently each book is a different story in the same universe (same races, tech, war, political systems etc). So can be read in any order. I was told to start with book 2 as it’s a better introduction. But I enjoyed book 1 anyway. Was exactly what I was in the mood for.
