It's not a series where one has to read them in order. It's actually not a series at all. The three narrative are about the world of Bas-Lag. There are no re-occurring characters. You can comfortably read them any which order.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944487011611580147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-27265130120504947682012-06-01T10:20:51.060-04:002012-06-01T10:20:51.060-04:00I mostly haven't read "Perdido Street Sta...I mostly haven't read "Perdido Street Station" yet because I'm hesitant to start another series. There are so many series that I'm in the middle of right now! I am looking forward to that one, though :). In "Embassytown", the setting and the ideas definitely kept me engaged, despite the sparse characterization.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683230093775720398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6074055834975214817.post-6725010286493943072012-05-31T10:08:13.399-04:002012-05-31T10:08:13.399-04:00I'm reading this shortly, can't wait.

Much criticism against Mielville's work is aimed at his sparse characterization, but to it's not overly bothersome. His settings (like in "The City & The City") kept me emerged in the story.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944487011611580147noreply@blogger.com
