Pompous Rhombus posted:You probably won't like anything by Mieville then, he writes pretty much transparent protagonists for the narrative to focus around, rather than flesh-and-blood people you can actually relate to. Iron Council might be an exception to this but it's been a long time since I've read it. Yea, i really get this vibe from TC&TC, which is the first novel I've read of his. I'm more than halfway through and I've learned to let go of the detective who the story revolves around because China dosen't seem to care about enriching him at all, just the world around him. I absolutely love the hook in this book and while he has to kind of write his way out of silly problems caused by it, it leaves an impression of magnified suspension of disbelief that just goes with the world very well. Question though, are all his books so sparse in prose? I've gotten a sense it's his imagination thats won him some praise, but the story telling is rather straight forward.
