This is the third book I've read by this author and the more I read his writing the more I enjoy it. This is the best to date. The imaginative world Mieville created is unreal but quite engaging. The key characters, human and remades, are sensitive, courageous and brave. Even when one tries to picture them, strange as they may be, their personalities are intriguing. I really enjoyed Lin, Isaac, and Yagharek. Lin is the artist whose perfection leads her to the contract creation of her life. Isaac is a brilliant and idealistic scientist who guards his inventions with passion. Yagharek suffers his entire life for one weak action that his culture abhors. Add the four slake moths who terrorize the city while Isaac and his friends seek a way to stop them and the adventure unfolds. This is a fantastic read!
