LZEnglish posted:Speaking of Mieville dropping hints, does anybody else think that the man who killed Jack Half-A-Prayer before he could be publicly executed might actually be Isaac? I am certain that it's Yagharek. The description of the man as "heavily pocked" matches with him plucking all his feathers at the end of Perdido Street Station, his mouth and nose are covered to hide his beak, his voice is described as harsh because it wasn't a human voice. He even picks up the overseers whip, a weapon that Yagharek was expert with but would have been useless to Isaac.

A warning for UK kindle users: in Railsea every instance of the word "and" is replaced by "&". It doesn't make it unreadable but it is annoying so you may wish to get a physical copy instead, or wait for a revised version. Edit: Actually, looking at the extract on the Tor website this is present there, so it may be a deliberate stylistic choice. I guess I'm too dumb to appreciate it if it is because I don't see what it adds  . I'm not very far into the book though so maybe I'll get it later on.
