Yes.
I'd like to make this clear - Mieville is playing with our minds here, and it's a challenge. In a world with sentient half-human races, these races are analogues to the different races within humanity, for all purposes, and if we can't imagine intimate relations between them, it shows a failure of imagination that's rather akin to real-world racism. I hope you enjoy the book.
