I am suddenly very curious about this book

stalin-approval is good!

a few of mieville's books are set in his weird fantasy steampunk world. one of the characters is a species of beetle, where the males are just beetles but the females have beetle heads but humanoid bodies, and she's in a relationship with a human character. someone here described his books as he introduces you to these fascinating characters that you quickly care for, and then he spends most of the novel staring you straight in the eye while putting all of them very slowly through a meat grinder. because they also live in a capitalist hellscape.

Hey that was me

Perdido Street Station inspired me to write something where the cute bug girl and her human bf actually get a happy ending too

rat-salute it's a description that's both vivid and accurate
