![]() ![]() I could tell you it’s about an alien race who speak simultaneously through two mouths. I could say it’s about a girl named Avice who lived in Embassytown and showed that she could become an immerser: one who could travel the immer between worlds awake and transport starships. Now how do I explain EMBASSYTOWN? Every time I felt I was getting a good grasp on the novel, Miéville would change directions and throw me another curve ball. It’s a brilliant novel based on a very cool central premise surrounded by vivid weird imagery that only Miéville can provide on this scale Easily my favorite of Miéville’s books since THE SCAR.ĮMBASSYTOWN was what I expected from THE CITY AND THE CITY. ![]() Why am I telling you all of this? Because EMBASSYTOWN ( Amazon), the latest novel by China Miéville, is probably a strong 9.8 in my opinion. For my dad it’s PERDIDO that gets the 10 and THE SCAR the measly 9.9. ![]() In my opinion THE SCAR is a 10 (on a scale of one to ten, ten being perfect) whereas PERDIDO is a 9.9. THE SCAR is better, better plotted, cooler stuff. My dad seems to think that China Miéville ( Amazon) is a superior work to THE SCAR ( Amazon), which is also by Miéville and set in the same world as PERDIDO. ![]()
