Too violent, gritty. Plus I wasn't sure what was going on, who the characters were. Maybe would flow better in print, but I was lost listening to the audiobook

Keanu Reeves is writing books now? I had to put it on my list after seeing it in the library. It's not my usual genre, but it was a good epic tale.

Miéville's writing style can be something of a barrier at the start. But if you sink into it, there are so many riches to be found. I didn't realize this tied in with BRZRKR (a comic series I wanted to read, but haven't yet) but it was intriguing getting the story in a different form. It took a bit to "get" what the different perspective shifts were doing. But in the end, I found the book intriguing in its mix of ultra-violent action and philosophical musings about what it means to be immortal. The perspective shifts do an interesting job of giving you some insight into what it'd be like to have lived as long as B has.
