The language is nice, and I especially like the way the characters all know and are comfortable with one another, but it's not so much a book as a series of vignettes. There's very little overarching plot -- instead, each character has a thread and a resolution that play out largely independently of one another.
Also, so many SF in-jokes. One robot church calls out the "Nine billion names of God" and there are sandworms mentioned.
