Review: Dream London

Dream London by Tony Ballantyne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cool concept. I rounded down half a star instead of up because the relentlessly misogynistic world it's set in irked me. This is not to say the _author_ comes across that way - there were several strong and interesting women characters in the book - but the magic of the Faerie (or whatever) seems to have bent everything such that all men were forced to become bastards and all women whores. And while this is adequately explained by the story, which as I say I quite enjoyed, it still got tiring to read.
