Railsea is another highly inventive world from Mieville. If you like his writing and you like steampunk, what's not to like? I was completely tickled by the parallels to a certain ultra-famous novel. I found the plot twists surprising at every turn. I even exercised dormant grey cells in the visualization of a world in which semi-solid earth stands in for ocean. As an adult who left "young adulthood" behind long ago, I did not find the troubles of the main character exclusive or off-putting. I'd recommend this to anyone age 12 and up. Not the case with some of this author's other books.
