This story socks it to you. Mieville has an excellent grasp on the geopolitical powder keg that is international politics. I know all the experts like to talk about Language vs language. And there is plenty to talk about on that subject. But what I found most intriguing about the story was the scathing review of "Big Government" on colonial life. Everything was started because Bremen made a power play, with consequences so disasterous it might wipe out an entire planet. Looking through man's own history, how many times have we encountered similar situations? Living in an embassytown myself, I can relate to or at least imagine on certain levels what the Terres went through. When you watch your own government sqwak and holler about things, you often wonder if they even have a clue since they so obviously refuse to take the time or effort in understanding the natives and their cultures, their history, who they are. They just see what they want, make assumptions, and deem what should be done based on political correctness or favor. It's scary because they, safe in their homes far, far away do not have to live with the fall out of those not-well-thought-through decisions and proclamations. It's easy to decide what to do when you aren't there to deal with the consequences. As much as I enjoyed the story, Mieville's writing is tough to slog through. Hence the loss of one star. For the most part, I read this fairly quickly. But the times where there was lag, it slowed way down. I think sometimes Mieville enjoyed a little too much of his wordplay. The smoothness of the story got bogged down by the cleverness in the words, which I found a bit ironic considering the whole premise of the story to begin with. All-in-all, for my first Mieville book, I enjoyed this thoroughly. While it won't be any time soon, I will definitely be reading his other works. This felt less science fiction-y to me so I don't think you have to be a hard core sci-fi fan to enjoy it. Allthough if you're not into international politics or science fiction, it might be rough going for you.
