So hard to get into - in part because like every other Russian book ever, it just drops you in the middle and expects you to get on with it, in part because it reads like a translation from English (the terminology, the obvious parallels between colonial era London and Rapgar, the names). The mysteries are still intriguing, though, and the writing (thou derivative) is decent enough to keep going.
