Dark Metropolis definitely reminded me of The Diviners when I first saw it and, seeing it on your list of similar reads makes me think I should try that one instead because I know it got pretty good reviews.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-33985458251553246152014-09-16T11:11:02.242-05:002014-09-16T11:11:02.242-05:00I absolutely agree with you about Dark Metropolis....I absolutely agree with you about Dark Metropolis. The worldbuilding was intentionally vague, which I didn't appreciate in the least, and the plot seemed scattered and poorly thought through. In addition, the tree POV characters didn't really grow on me and the entire thing was quite unmemorable to boot.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-32698325277359603342014-09-16T08:29:07.588-05:002014-09-16T08:29:07.588-05:00Too bad!
