This is the antithesis of the conventional foundling story - in this world, finding out you're secretly a prince of a magical realm is the last thing you want to have happen. It's fantasy of the darkest sort, packed with rage and betrayal and people you care about dying just because they got in someone else's way. This book doesn't have quite the same richness as China Mieville's later works - mostly because of its slightly self-conscious drum-and-bass cool - but it's still better than 98% of the books out there.
