"Primal awe and erudite references have always mingled in Miéville's work–along with a healthy dose of pulp playfulness."
–The New Yorker "Flawlessly plotted and relentlessly, stunningly inventive: a conceptual breakthrough of the highest order."
–Kirkus Reviews "Perdido Street Station is brimming with enchantment. Written in intense, evocative prose, set in Dickensian New Crobuzon, peopled with characters of Boschian demeanor and diversity . . . the book flourishes and shuffles the conventions of science fiction, fantasy, and horror."
