A review by mr_engineer
The City & the City by China Miéville

mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

I would have liked more character development, but this is purposefully written like a police procedural and the idea of two cities existing "gross topically" on top of each other is heady stuff.
