Alvaro de Menard's Reviews > Inhibitor Phase

The worst Revelation Space novel thus far. It's a theme park novel, jumping from ride to ride with barely any connection between them, as the characters gather up the requisite MacGuffins. Even worse, once they gather them the novel just ends and you don't get to see the effects! The locations are mostly nonsensical given the setting: this is a post-apocalyptic space opera where most of humanity has been wiped away, but the survivors are nutty cannibal cults rather than prepared and organized groups?

The two main characters were both quite annoying, the one is an edgy psychopath type while the other is an annoying amnesiac. Lots of awkward attempts at humor and awkward dialogue.

Too many quasi-magical elements, and even worse too many infodumps on those quasi-magical elements.
