I have never been more furious at the ending of a book. And part of that reason is because I genuinely enjoyed reading the rest of it. The world building is insane, the plot is intriguing, and I really cared about what happened to the characters. Which made the ending even more painful for me. It’s evident that Miéville has a lot of talent and large parts of this book are a total success, but I wouldn’t read it again because I finished it feeling deeply unsatisfied.
