Review of 'Perdido Street Station Tome 1' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I did not like this at all. Beside the overly ornate descriptions of the titular place that, technically, does not feature into the story at all, the attack of monsters that are invincible except when they aren't, and the character arcs that never quite get finalized, the treatment of the female protagonist made me feel disgusted, specially since it all happens because she dared to do something her man doesn't know of. Because women just don't listen am i right guys.

And I'm not even getting into the birdman.
