LOVED this book! With Kraken, even with the contemporary London setting, there are enough fantasy elements that Mieville can get back to some of the world-building elements he does so well and which made the Bas-Lag trilogy so wonderful. There's a lot of British slang and colloquialisms which can slow your reading if you aren't used to it, but the plot is full of twists and turns and engaging characters. Even if you're new to Mieville, if you're a fan of urban fantasy I would highly recommend this book.
