Dense, grimy, and incredibly imaginative. Quite unlike anything I've read before.

A bit too much description for my liking. But very original and very good story and characters.

Honestly was not expecting to absolutely fall in love with this book. A truly beautifully written beginning to a trilogy I can’t wait to continue. The language and China Mielville’s writing is some of the best I’ve read. You think the book is going to turn out a certain way and then around 200 pages in the curveballs come at you. Couldn’t recommend this book more to fantasy lovers.
