A review by majkia
The Mirror Empire, by Kameron Hurley

An ambitious book, taking on lots of societal assumptions. Complex characters, most of whom are surviving as best they can, and not always doing the right thing as a result. The magical system is not clearly defined so the reader is left to feel her way through the book attempting to make sense of things. And not all of it ever manages to make sense.

It reminded me of Mieville's [The City & the City] in many ways, as worlds collide and bleed through into each other
