I liked the worldbuildling more than the story
I agree. I'm fresh out of sci-fi/space opera stuff tho. Still slogging thru Perdido Street Station (which isn't space opera), and missing early Bujold.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Mieville is not a quick, easy read, no. But that book is pretty awesome, even if it leaves you feeling really dirty. We get it, dude, New Crobuzón is REALLY STANK.
I went with Daemon
Ooh, a friend of mine reviewed that a while ago and interviewed the author. It sounds really cool.

They've made a game based on Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth. Does that sort of thing happen often?

Jilli!! It looks like my B&N isn't going to be getting any copies of your book!! Damnit. I can special order it for myself, but I can't handsell it at the counter.

I have that game, and I hate it a lot. Not more than I hate the book, but that would be tough to do.

Three other stores near me do have it in stock, but mine is one of two locally that doesn't. Shit.
