Ok - this is the last of the recent stream of genre fiction that I've been reading...time to focus. But - what a pleasure The Scar still is - my favourite of the Bas-Lag three. In Bellis Coldwine, an appealingly sulky central character; in Armada a vivid and endlessly intriguing setting; and all around them a host of monsters, wonders and memorable ancillary characters (the Brucolac has always stuck in my mind).
