Use of Weapons

With this I think I am done with the Culture series. I really enjoyed that last book in the series, but Use of Weapons is just a tedious slog. It’s structured around chapters that alternate between moving forwards and backwards through time. The jumps between the chapters are jarring and they usually end up killing any of the suspense and pacing that was being set up. All this builds to a twist ending that links the two story lines, but by that time I was so confused and bored that I didn’t care at all.
