4.5 ⭐. Kiehtova, mielenkiintoinen ja uniikki ympäristö. Rakastin sitä, että juoni piti jatkuvasti varpaillaan. Myös Slavan ja Novan tarinat kiinnostivat erityisesti.

En ole varma, käytetäänkö urbaanista fantasiasta yleensä termiä 'grimdark', mutta se pyöri alati mielessä kun tätä luin. Kaksi tähteä tulee ennen kaikkea siitä, ettei tämä ollut teoksena yhtään minun tyyliseni kaikessa synkkyydessään ja väkivaltaisine jengisotineen. Baba Jaga oli toteutettu kuitenkin hahmona todella hienosti, ja pidin ajoittaisia viittauksia venäläisiin satuihin todella kiinnostavana - harmi, että ne jäivät ainakin näin ensimmäisessä osassa varsin vähäisiksi. Jos synkkä urbaani fantasia tuntuu omalta jutulta, niin Neonkaupunki on varmasti tutustumisen arvoinen.
