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?
Elodie There are a couple of scenes involving Derkhan that may gross you out. I think it's worth it for the end result, but if Sil in his filth bothered you.…moreThere are a couple of scenes involving Derkhan that may gross you out. I think it's worth it for the end result, but if Sil in his filth bothered you... If you're bothered by blood, maybe don't keep going? There isn't that many scenes with it, but the ones that do have it are intense.(less)
