First review of 2025. This was a fun book, first title I've read from China Miélville targetted at a younger audience. Fun story, as if the author had decided to take a variety of puns and through the lens of surrealism bring them to life. There are some unexpected directions it goes in but follows the YA epic model of fantasy, multiverses, and magic.

Fun low stakes read for those who never grow out of the genre.
