I… reallyyyyy like this prose! It is dense, but incredibly rich. Mieville paints the epic, vile sprawl of New Crobuzon in all five senses, and with a vocabulary that puts most modern authors to shame. Though, admittedly, palimpsest has appeared more frequently that strictly necessary…
In Dylan speak: big words good! This guy has seen some stuff, no doubt. Also story is good so haha that too

I was right. Weird vibes off the bat! Behold the khepri! Humans with a beetle for a head. Classic, definitely not the expectation I had going into thispolluted hellscape of a world. Also? The three rivers are named Tar, Gross Tar, and Canker. Healthy ecosystems all, I’m sure. Definitely going to keep reading.
