A review by smiorganbaldhead
In Viriconium by M. John Harrison

2.0

At first, the relative clarity of the narrative compared to A Storm of Wings was a welcome change. However, I found most of the early part of the book dull, apart from one scene. This story is mostly devoid of the adventure of the Pastel City or even A Storm of Wings. Late in the book, more (potentially) exciting events start to happen again, but what is really going on is murky and weird like A Storm of Wings, but without the sense of foreboding that kept that book somewhat interesting.
