Scar is way, way longer than it needed to be, I feel, but I liked it anyway because it had a really fascinating world, complete with one of my favorite this-could-never-happen-but-it's-awesome-anyway settings: a city made of lots of boats lashed together. Which, if it appeals to you, also features in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.
