China Mieville is a master of imaginative worlds, and while the story this novel tells isn’t exactly groundbreaking, it’s still a thoroughly enjoyable ride due to the utterly fascinating world it takes place in.

Visual novel & other stuff impressions 
Yeah the setting was definitely the highlight of that novel. Very imaginative. Personally I enjoyed Embassytown more than Perdito Street Station, but I am pretty much alone in that regard as far I know. Not as imaginative but with a stronger central theme.
