Hannah asked this question about Perdido Street Station (New Crobuzon, #1):
Ok, so I'm very early in the book, but so far I have come across the bartender who slit his mouth, and Sil in his bucket of filth. Generally I can handle a bit of queasyness, but with these two instances in such quick succession I'm not sure if I can handle too much. So, alreadyfinishedpeople, should I continue if queasyness isn't for me?
Cecile Thanks for the question. I will also take a pass. Trying to find a Mieville book to start on.
