Lombres

The setting feels so vivid and alive, almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether China Miéville drew from specific places or let his imagination run wild.

The mix of technology and magic created a really unique vibe, but I wonder if balancing both was challenging or if it came naturally during writing.

The characters' journeys felt relatable, especially in discovering who they are. Did anyone find themselves reflecting on their own sense of belonging while reading?
