Where to start with China Mieville?


Recommended Posts

I have only read a couple of his The Kraken and The Scar and enjoyed both The Kraken was slightly better but I have been tempted by UnLundun as this looks very interesting, the blurb says its a YA book but his writing is complex enought to not just be run of the mill.

UnLunDun was the one actually calling to me loudest so far, I find that good YA books tend to wipe the floor with a lot of supposedly mature fiction so that doesn't put me off in the slightest...!

I started with Perdido Street Station, which was excellent, highly recommended. Both The Scar and Iron Council are set in the same universe but aren't direct sequels.

I have just finished UnLundun and I loved it, it is written for YA but its well written, not as intricate or complex as the adult books but he manages to create an intersting world where broken bits from our world seep through.
