Not what I was getting at. I was just wondering if a good story eclipses preachy bullshit.

I don't agree with his politics and have an aversion to people who are so impressed with their own opinions that they must inject it into everything they do, but in my opinion the books are good enough that you can overlook it. It's been awhile since I read it, but he does an incredible job of giving you glimpses of things you want to know more about. Everything seems fleshed out, like Mieville wrote an encyclopedia about the people and histories of the world, then used that information to write a story.

So, as somebody who doesn't like preachy bullshit at all in stories regardless of if I agree with it, I'd say give it a shot.
