Review: Rivers of London (Rivers of London, #1)
Gaby Meares
I listened to the audio version of this which I think enhanced the experience. The narrator was excellent and his accent put you in the heart of London!
This is urban fantasy, with a wry sense of humour. Not for the kiddies, but very enjoyable for the grown-ups! I love the idea of a special branch of the British Police that deals with the supernatural as if that’s normal - isn’t it?
I’ve just returned from London, so I must say I really enjoyed being able to picture the locations in this novel. Aaronovitch does not assume you have that knowledge, and brilliantly describes this city which he obviously loves.
The water nymphs are very cool!!!
Enjoy this urban fantasy/crime - it’s a lot of fun.
