Status Updates From The Scar (New Crobuzon, #2)

didn't think we'd be getting an homage to pip (from moby dick) in here but we sure did! ouch.

i think the rereading experience for this will be great, eventhough i am sure i will have forgotten everything that happens save for the scary mosquito women by the time that opportunity rolls around

Will i finish reading this this weekend? Place your bets now! Jokes aside - this had the same issue as Perdido where there is just one scene that my brain at some point tunes out of at around 70/80%. But it's been a great ride so far regardless; a perfect reminder as to why I love long books, even if I have forsaken them as of late.

I continue to be surprised that I can read this without issue despite how tired I am on most days. Miéville writes so well and I think you could probably even read this and Perdido Street Station independently...
Not that you should! Please don't!
But I don't feel like the fact that I didn't reread Perdido ahead of time was much of a hurdle. Some lore isn't probably going to stick in my head but that's okay!
