[off topic]

China Mieville's books 'The Scar' and 'Perido Street Station' are great at giving information without hitting you over the head.

For instance, there's a tavern called 'The Moon's Two Daughters." From the description of the sign [two girls dancing around the Moon] we learn that Earth's Moon now has satellites of its own.

Man, I tried with Perdido Street Station. I had it recommended to me, so I picked it up and got maybe halfway through it, but it just didn't hold me. I've tried once more since then but it just felt like a slog. It's super creative but I think I just don't like the writing style. No judgment, you just reminded me of the minor shame of not liking something someone recommended, lol.

To each their own.
