This is the first non-Revelation Space book by Alastair Reynolds that I have read, and I loved it! It started out very simple. As the story progressed, it increasingly became evident that something very weird was going on. There were subtle clues to pick up on and I found myself tearing through the book trying to put together all the pieces of the puzzle. Towards the end, when everything started getting clear, the final solution to the puzzle was doubly satisfying since I had already managed to decipher a part of the mystery till that point. I found the end of the book to be unexpectedly emotional. I will definitely count this book amongst my favourite scify books! Thoughts?

Also Slow bullets. It's a shorter story (novella) and it's a pretty nice idea/setting although some of the characters' decisions were really frustrating.
