Genre: Urban Fantasy Noir
Rating: Amazing
Mieville has an ability to imagine world and city-scapes that are so alien and fascinating.
Two cities/two worlds superimposed over each other, where citizens of one must ‘unsee’ those of the other. Areas of shared scape or totally separate cities, intermixed who knows how or why. The citizens just have to live there.
A detective of one city finds a dead body. But he begins to suspect that this isn’t only about his city, and that means the mysterious Breach might be involved, the mystery that citizens of both cities fear.
Again, Mieville creates a world that is as much a character in the story as the humans living in it. Wonderfully imaginative, nicely noir and convincingly complex.
