Dan’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Scar (New Crobuzon, #2)

The Scar (New Crobuzon, #2) by China Miéville

2 highlights

Dan’s Quotes

“Gone were the antique rivalries, the mortal hatred that had so often set them against each other. Gone were the differences. And it seemed a thing of mad and tragic folly that Men might raise arms against Men, when creatures so vile so infested the world.”
― R. Scott Bakker, The White Luck Warrior
