As always, China Miéville is a master of blending the known and the familiar with the strange and the extraordinary.

I seem to really love books about Cities and looking back at my "read" list they tend to live firmly in the Fantasy category, from [b:Neverwhere|14497|Neverwhere (London Below, #1)|Neil Gaiman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348747943l/14497._SX50_.jpg|16534] to [b:The City We Became|42074525|The City We Became (Great Cities, #1)|N.K. Jemisin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1585327950l/42074525._SY75_.jpg|54760675]. This book manages to superimpose two Cities on each other and blends a 1960's Berlin divided, with a sort of end of century Prague feel, with modern settings. It is a police procedural in structure but it is very imaginative and rich so that the "whodunnit" is not even really all that important. I think i will revisit this one in a few years

I thought it would be more of a fantasy/sci-fi novel but it was essentially just a mystery novel. It wasn’t interesting to me.
