I'm kind of curious to know what people thought of the characters in The Scar and Iron Council, especially compared to Perdido Street Station. I thought they were all really well written books with an incredible setting - the details of the worlds are superb. Only problem was, I really struggled to care about the main characters in The Scar and Iron Council. I coasted along, enjoying the details and the structures of the books, but it's a bit of a struggle reading a book when you don't really care if the main characters die on the next page! Was it just me, or were they all a bit difficult to like as people?
