Perdido Street Station is probably my favorite fantasy book, it’s a tossup between it and The Scar.

Wow lol I just put up a comment before even scrolling through the thread, I went through the trilogy in a couple weeks and loved it! What did you think of Authority, if you’ve read it? It was absolutely my favorite book of the series, similar in terms of tone but completely different in regards to the setting, the plot, etc.
