Iron Council by China Miéville

1.0

---

I didn't care for the writing style Miéville used during the second quarter of the book. It takes fully half the story before you learn exactly what is going on and what the characters' "quest" is all about, and by the time I learned I no longer cared. This book didn't engage me the way his previous ones did. It wasn't bad enough that I set it down without finishing, but I only finished it in hopes that a spectacular ending would make it all worth while. And there was something interesting that happened at the end, but it wasn't enough, by far.
