I wasn't a fan. It's odd (which in itself doesn't bother me), a post apocalyptic story with fantasy elements. But the main character was rather bland and I didn't think the author fully explored the more interesting elements/characters. The book felt a bit flat to me and I didn't feel I connected with the main character.

Anna, that's a bummer. I want to read a full-length Miéville story, though, so it's good to know not to start there.

I'm 14/17 for now so I've decided to go all the way back to my birthyear 1968, which makes me 24/49
