Mieville's was the first steampunk I had ever read and also the first
book that included vampires that wasn't thrown at the wall. Five stars.
I have read, (and enjoyed), some but do not remember which, Ken
MacLeods' and sometimes wonder if I love Reynolds' more than Banks'.
Five stars for Revelation Space.
I want to read Salt and will shift it higher up the TBR list. Jack Glass
was five stars but others of his have just scraped in with twos. He has
the ability to adapt or copy any writing style, several of which
disappointed me.
