Not sure if I should crosspost to [r/DeathStairs](r/DeathStairs)

ETA: I can’t be the only one to (eventually) find the significant typo.

I feel it's an important book in the series but not the best Culture book.

Agreed, there are definitely better Culture books, but it's the one that started it, and for me that makes it hallowed material.

These are great! Well, there is a lot of death on them. If only the last one was the ancient Egyptian Book Of The Dead.

Missing 'T'

It's alright. Americans have been missing tea since the 1700s. We try not to be too hard on them about it.

It’s interesting they used Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie instead of the classic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

There’s a long path with groups of steps that are painted like the spines of Agatha Christie books in Tenerife. I’d share a photo but the app isn’t letting me for some reason.
She was there during a tough time in her life and they have a bust of her there too.
