Status Updates From Les Scarifiés

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!

After long years of waiting the Brazilian edition is finally here and I'm already thrilled by Miéville's choices of themes, words and scenarios, he pushes all the right buttons. Just hope I can properly balance this dense reading with my upcoming classes (I was accepted for the master's degree scholarship I was studying for!)

i like this unwritten rule that a miéville should ideally include something moby dick inspired in its narrative

excited for the day where i can read more than a chapter and a half again, boohoohoo :(

Truly have never seen a more creative and weird world on the written page. The mosquito people island crossing was absolutely, viscerally harrowing. And I just love Miéville's writing - it's so descriptive and he loves his thesaurus and, damn, does he make it work.

i need to check what perdido street station's writing style was like again, because this is, at the moment, one of the smoothest and most fluid reading experiences i have had in a while. does that make sense? let's hope so, i am soooo sleepy

Reading this has been so enjoyable - no need to fuss about what I want to read and also no issues in switching between my ereader and the physical edition. At this rate, I think I may stick some more long books while work demands all my brainspace. (it's also just really nice and fun to read. my other miévilles were a bit tougher, so i'm double glad :) )

whales whales whales!!!

To my own surprise, I've actually been very happy about just slowly trodding along through this book. I haven't really read a book this slowly since 2022, maybe, and it's been nice to be slowed down like this.
