War, Religion, Apocalypse
These are the main themes of the masterpiece by the highly imaginative China Mieville. This is a short review of the book Kraken by China Mieville. Billy Harrow is an employee in a museum, one day during the tour he finds something unsettling. Something is missing from the museum that was not supposed to. The city is changing in ways Billy can’t explain how. There are cults that worship the missing specimen from the museum. There is a prophecy that the world is going to end. Billy find himself in the middle of all this. He has no idea what is at stake and what’s going on. He acquire some friends and enemies with their help Billy is going to find out what’s wrong with the city.
If I say more about the book it will soon turn into spoilers. So, if you like highly imaginative stories about a world which is going to end and marriage of magic, detective is your cup of tea this book will knock all those things out of the park. China Mieville’s imagination is without a doubt unseen before. The way he combines the bits and pieces of a story and bring them to life is remarkable.
