I'm always looking for media featuring aliens, especially multiple races. Came across this on TvTropes. Seems to dismiss the first book and say its unneeded. Anyone here enjoy/hate this one? Any starting point you'd recommend? Most importantly how prominent are the aliens?

While looking up alien sci-fi I found "Perdido Street Station" which starts with the main character helping out a bird alien (according to the summary.)

China Mieville novels are great but be prepared for some weird, weird content.
