“Other names besides [Herman] Melville’s will surely come to mind
as you read this thrilling tale—there’s Dune’s Frank Herbert. . . .
But in this, as in all of his works, Miéville has that special
knack for evoking other writers even while making the story wholly
his own.”—Los Angeles Times
“[Miéville] gives all readers a lot to dig into here, be it
emotional drama, Godzilla-esque monster carnage, or the high
adventure that comes only with riding the rails.”—USA Today
“Superb . . . massively imaginative.”—Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
“Riveting . . . a great adventure.”—NPR
“Wildly inventive . . . Every sentence is packed with wit.”—The
Guardian (London)
