    I really wanted to enjoy China Mieville’s three “Bas Lag” books (including The Scar) but they’re just too gloomy and the characters too morose.

    Then I read Tchaikovsky’s “Tyrant Philosophers” series and it felt like he out-Mieville’d Mieville.

    Edit- But like, in a really good way

      I’ve not read the Tyrant Philosophers books yet, thanks for the heads up! At some point I’ll cycle back around to craving the company of depressing as fuck literature, so I’ll put them on that list.
