Most of the Culture books are a solid 250-450 pages in length and are great. MATTER and this one are notably larger, and don't seem to have weathered the extra page count very well.
I remembered Consider Phlebas as a relatively short book, so was surprised on the reread that it was rather long. It (and this one) could definitely have been shorter.

Banks seems to be better when writing shorter
