My first read from Adrian Tchaikovsky and wow have I been missing out. Interesting, thought-out aliens and world systems, gracefully introduced. Fully realized characters with incompatible perspectives having to work together in a way that isn't just #wholesome getting along. A real sense of history and cultural development that influences those characters and perspectives. Loved this.

What I like most about Tim Powers is a clear sense of location in time and space, which this book has but either it does less with it or is too close to now for me to find it as fun as Fault Lines. Still has the ritual magic x technology elements he does so well and worth a read.
