Perdido Street Station

It was a little hard to grasp China Miévilles style in the beginning. I almost miss an info-dump here and there, especially getting into the book. But I was rewarded for being attentive. The world building is impressive and mostly convincing within the premise of Bas Lag. I am not a big fan of horror myself and I sometimes miss nuances of brightness or order in the chaotic nature of New Crobuzon.

I am fascinated by a good story and the story arcs of Perdido Street Station where a captivating and enthralling read once I grasped them.

It was fun to read an unapologetic Steam Punk novel and Miéville does the genre justice. Overall very enjoyable, if you are not to easily scared.

Started slow and dense and then turns into a rollercoaster. Incredible world-building, can't wait to read the rest of the series.
