Perdido Street Station / The Scar

Name: Anonymous 2007-08-18 14:45 ID:XmBLzjbf

So I just finished reading this and I have mixed feelings about it.  On one hand, it truly is some excellent writing (even if Mieville appears to have a serious fetish for describing every thing ever) and the science/magic stuff is awesome.  On the other, the ending had to have been one of the most unsatisfying and depressing things I've ever read.  I mean, what happened with Yag, I could live with that on its own, but that coupled with Lin's condition, the lack of explanation behind Jack Half-a-Prayer and his involvement, and the lacking of Motley even getting so much as scratched left a sour taste at the end.

So now I'm debating whether or not to read The Scar.  Without any of you spoiling any of it for me, I need to know: is anything from Perdido Street Station resolved in it?  Is the ending at least someone satisfying?  Is it worth my time to read?
