Perdido Street Station is ass in a really frustrating way. Mieville has an incredible eye for worldbuilding and his prose is incredible, but nothing fuuuuucking happens. North of 750 pages and literally nothing of substance changes from beginning to end, why even have a story if it might as well have not ocurred?

@AppleAmps i mean there are stories where the point is nothing happens, but i know nothing about perdido street station to be able to apply that to a thematic analysis. wouldn’t be any good anyways since im so tired lately anyways

Oh, don't worry about it. Also I guess PSS is more of a vehicle for its world than its characters or plot but it's still kind of annoying that nothing of value changes within that world.
