The City & The City

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
