![]() ![]() ![]() I was expecting rich detailed descriptions of cities- architecture, culture, food, politics, etc, everything that makes a city unique and but that’s really not what this is at all it’s more philosophical musings under the guise of cities. I went in with high expecations after hearing people say it was an amazing book with stunning descriptions of fantasy cities. I was sadly a bit underwhelmed and mostly my disappointment is a case of mistaken expectations. The city chapters are interspersed with sections of dialogue between Marco and Kublai, in which they both acknowledge the cities aren’t really real. ![]() This book is an excercise in imagination, asking you to come on a journey to imagined cities presented in the format of Marco Polo describing his travels to Kublai Khan. ![]()
