House of Suns

It has been too long since I've read a novel by Alastair Reynolds, and House of Suns was an excellent first novel back. It balances a story that spans hundreds of thousands of years and huge distances in space with characters that are easily relatable despite the drastic differences between their existence and ours. I loved the big ideas, particularly those exploring different forms of consciousness, and the creative future technology. The pace of the story was sometimes a bit slow and meandering, but I really enjoyed the direction it took and the revelations later in the story. This is one of my favorite of Reynolds' novels, and I'm looking forward to reading the others I have missed!
