Most of the action in this book shifts from Bratislava to some fantastical archipelago populated with two mythical peoples. The majority of the focus is on Freddy and Urban Video, with Freddy transforming from Europe's porn king to rebel leader.

What first attracted me to this trilogy was the characters together with the setting; lower-class lives in Bratislava, which went all topsy turvy when the fantasy land was introduced. However, the characters are strong enough to survive this seismic shift and keep the story compelling nonetheless.

The third in the Rivers of Babylon trilogy. I quite enjoyed it, but I read quite a lot of it when I was half-asleep, which is never the best way to do a book justice.
