I love the characters here in Un Lun Dun, but the settings and the puns could have used some work. In the obvious comparison to Neverwhere, I would like to see a fusion of the two worlds - Gaiman's Neverwhere's London Below shines more as a setting, but Miéville's characters here in Un Lun Dun are better than Neverwhere's (with the exception of the Marquis, of course).
