Why is the revolutionary new technology that Isaac spends the entire book building up only used once, despite Rudgutter implying that it could tip the whole power balance of the city? Why does Lin get completely fucked over while Motley (who got HYPNOTISED **FIRST**) got off scot-free? Why does she spend half the book 'dead' and imprisoned? She gets exactly 0 PoV chapters after her capture! Why is the revelation about Yagharek's crimes the *last* fucking thing that happens? Then, once the Slake-moths have been beaten, the book just ends. The whole ride, from slowly being introduced to the world of Baslag through Isaac's research and Lin's art, to Yagharek's exploration of New Crobuzon and himself (narrated as if Yagharek were dictating an epic poem about himself, which I love) to the desperate fight against the Slake-moths completely grabbed me.
It felt like so many threads were just cut short and so much foreshadowing just wasted. You put them together in so many interesting ways.įuck you for ending this book the way you did.
