<h3>Review:</h3>
<p>Interesting book. A nice departure from the baroque style Miéville cultivates in the New Crobuzon books. The intentionally hard names of things are a turnoff at first, but after a while, you start unseeing it.<br /><br />Interesting premise, and I spit in the general direction of the publisher who convinced Miéville that the subtitle "The last adventure of Inspector Borlú" had to go.</p>
