Absolutely brilliant. Mieville pulls you into his bizarre world right from the start and even now, weeks after reading it, I still have passages from the book haunting me. Here are the themes: love, betrayal, fear, justice, obsession, cruelty, shame, courage, hope, rage, fortitude, dedication, innocence, cunning, vengeance. To name a few. The author's imagination and intelligence is amazing and I am in awe of his talent. I kid you not. Even if science fic or fantasy isn't your usual read I urge you to READ THIS.
