Review of 'Rivers of London' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars


Keep breathing, I said. It’s a habit you don’t want to break.

This has been one fun book. Witty, quite funny and full ofmagic. There were a few dry spells (Ha! Get it?) here and there, but Istill consider this a successful combination of Neil Gaiman'sNeverwhere and more traditional CSI/detective books. There's London,there's magic, there is science and fake history. And there's amurderous something on the loose. Have I mentioned personificationsof London rivers? I have a feeling that knowing London layout andhistory better would make this an even more enjoyable read, but it alsodidn't take away much.I'll definitely continue the series, the premise is interesting enoughand there are a lot of characters I want to meet again. Until nexttime!
