It took me a while to read this omnibus, but that is not unusual for me. With books like this, I may read part of it, put it down, take it back up. I will say that, while I liked it, I did not love it. The first novel in the set seemed a bit slow to be honest. I particularly enjoyed the Patience short story, and the last novel did pick up the pace at the end. This is a book that you should read at once. I mean that the novels are so closely linked that they can be read as a single work. Personally, I enjoyed the Eisenhorn collection better, but the Ravenor set is still a good read, albeit a bit slow at times.
