3.0

It wasn’t my thing. I enjoyed the idea of the plot, but the writing was cumbersome in my opinion. It took so long to get anywhere and the characters continuously rehashed information with each other. And then the end was very unsatisfying. Just not my cup of tea.

absolutely ripped through this, but I wasn't quite satisfied when I finished it. might benefit from a reread but ultimately I think I was most interested when there were questions left unanswered; I almost wish it hadn't wrapped so many things up neatly in the end.

4.0

Mieville's police procedural has a spare, dry voice and a small love affair with the letter Z that made my early progress very slow. The twisting bureaucracy can lead only one place, and while the ending is satisfying, I found it ultimately very pat. An extremely imaginative pair of cityscapes, though, and definitely worth what felt like a slog in the beginning.

I thought the setting was fascinating, and the way the thought processes of the characters navigating the city are handled was really well done. However the actual mystery wasn't that interesting or surprising, and I felt like the story kind of fell apart once more information about

Breach

was revealed.
