Verdict: Rivers of London is rather fun and original trad urban fantasy.

Reasons for reading it: It's been getting a lot of good buzz recently. I was particularly attracted by all the comments to [personal profile] marina's request about whether it's faily. And I generally love books about the hidden magical city existing in parallel with the real one.

How it came into my hands: The library was promoting it on its shelf of particularly hot books.

I am looking forward to seeing where the sequels of this go!

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
