This must be the most arrogant author I've ever read - and it is well-earned!  The world is deep and immersive and exhausting and tragic and terrifying.  You'll find yourself dragged into New Crobuzon and unable to extricate yourself.  You'll be wrung out with no place to dry and you'll lap it up and ask for more.
