Finished Iron Council by China Mieville recently. What always does me in with the bas-lag books is how unsatisfying and "unclean" the endings are, and iron council certainly takes the crown.

Now i've read pretty much everything by mieville besides his shortstories, and im coming up short on what to read next. Any recommendations similar to mieville?
