spoiler warning--- Very nice book. Albeit bit confusing, but then at the end they do the big monologue explanation thing they do at the end of mysteries so that everything makes sense to the viewer/reader.. Condensing the book to the point that the whole plot is understandable and all the complicated concepts explained will be difficult.
I'm reading some more sources, and there's some interesting things that I hadn't picked on while reading: the names. The names of the murder victim all had some meaning(they kept giving her new names as more information was discovered), and the town names (the 2 places inhabit the same space and time) also had some hidden meaning, like being reference to places in history with contested ownership. So that was pretty cool.
Imagine how crazy it would be to live here. The 'border' between the cities can be crossed accidentally, and sometimes there's a car crash between the people of the two towns, or bullet from standoffs hit unsuspecting people in the other town, who happen to be in the same location but not really in the same location. If you see the other town then you gotta unsee it, or else Breach will get you.
During his adventure, the inspector discovers that the victim was deep into a conspiracy about a secret hidden third town, but then the town is a sham. And then one little thing turns into many big things that end up throwing everything into chaos which was cool too. And then the ending had the big "this is how my plan worked" that there is at the end of every mystery media. The choice the inspector makes at the end is pretty cool too. He joins the breach, and now he's behind the scenes.
Wait wait! I want to hear more about what happens and what people think about it! What are the names, and what do they tell us, for instance? It sounds like a novel about revelations. I'd love to hear what those revelations are.
