This is the first novel in the Culture universe that I've read. There is rich world-building, and some very good characters in here. For the most part, I was kept enthralled with the story as it unfolded, however, the thing came apart near the end for me as it just sort of ended. While the main plotline was addressed satisfactorily, I thought there were a number of other threads left unpulled a bit.
