3.5
This book has a really interesting premise, two cities occupying the same physical space "grosstopically" and how criminal jurisdiction is handled in these places. I've never read anything like it before and while it was confusing at first the worldbuilding was excellent.
The main drawback I would say is that none of the characters were particularly interesting or likeable, except the victim, in my opinion. I also felt the ending was a little anti-climactic if I'm being honest.
As a bonus I liked the formatting. Each new chapter starts at the top of the next page, no wasted space!
