Perdido Street Station by China Miéville
5.0

This book was amazing. The characters and the world that China Miéville creates are incredibly unique. As soon as I started reading I wanted to sit down and draw the characters. The book may start off a bit slow but it makes up for it in the sheer wonder of the world. The plot picked up and made me devour the last of its 700 pages. The world that Perdido Street Station is set in has a very steam punk feel to it. The story is a bit dark and takes place in the dingy city of New Crobuzon. Magic is treated as a kind of science. This is the first fantasy novel of its kind that I have encountered. I highly recommend it.
