For a long time, I’d been hearing good things about Mieville but this is the first of his books that I’ve tried. Although it wasn’t quite as awesome as the hype had led me to expect, I’m hoping I’ll like some of this other books even more

I think Burial Rites was Hannah Kent’s debut novel, but Mieville has a number of other books I hope to try soon

While the world wasn’t explained as well as I would have liked, it was very creative and I liked how the plot took advantage of the unique world in which it took place. You should give it a try!

While this one wasn’t quite a five star read for me, I could Mieville is an author I could love so I’d definitely like to give some of his other books a chance.

A sad tale for a long winter night in front of the fireplace

I’m sure there were a ton of fantastic quotes to save
