The ending was still a let down (Mieville's only flaw, IMHO - he can't write proper endings) but it wasn't as bad as the ending to PSS. And the rest of the book was so awesome I'll forgive him
I thought Uthor Doul was my favourite character of The Scar too. I really enjoyed his run ins with the vampires

And weren't the Lovers creepy!
