>Mieville edition

I recently read his book Embassytown and I liked it overall.
The book did seem to suffer from a lack of agency at first, as there appeared to be nothing happening in the first half of the book, didn't even notice any ominous foreshadowing. So for much of the book instead of action we get a leisurely walk through this sci-fi world where much is shown but is rarely described in detail.
But Mr Mieville has indeed painted an interesting picture, as he tends to.
Not many memorable characters though.
