What a story! Cities being born into a self sustaining life, but others who want to stop it because it threatens their perfect vision of how a city should look and feel. It’s all been a great metaphor for gentrification. New York and the distinctive personalities of its boroughs are well fleshed out and the conflicts and pride between them are spot on. I can’t help but love Bronca and Brooklyn and both the borough and the personal clashes they work through. I didn’t expect the twist in how they deal with the Woman in White and I look forward into opening the next book to see what happens.
Also I absolutely love the queer representation throughout the book and how it’s just another part of the city and its people.
