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 :) )

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.

i am so happy that the formatting for this is so pleasing on the eye 🙏🏻 miéville isn't always the easiest to read and i'm glad the physical edition isn't making that any worse.
