chasm city rocks, although i really didnt enjoy the rest of the revelation space stuff. I think chasm could be read as a standalone novel and still really enjoyed

I liked pic related, felt like a less magic version of Hyperion

Actually now I'm here.

I quite enjoyed Chasm City. It reminded me oh Hyperion with a little more modernity and less magic. While sometimes the twists and turns didn't quite add up, and the whole excuse of Reynolds lack of imagination by using twentieth century tech being a) it's all shit!!! or b) fashion were lame. (Hope you followed my second point there).

What else is good in revelation space? I would like to read a little more if nothing else just to scratch my old Hyperion itch.

I recently finished this glorious book. It's the prequel to the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds.
