I enjoyed this book, short chapters, each describing and imaginary (?) city. It seemed to me that in the beginning of the book the cities were quite pleasant, nice places to live. But as the book progressed, the cities got darker and darker and darker and the people became more and more unhappy.

The jist the book, Marco Polo is telling Kublai Khan about the cities. Kublai Khan at first thinks they’re real. Soon, Kublai realizes that Marco never travels, and it’s just making it all up.
AND there’s a moral to the story at the very end. I wonder if they’re referencing The Divine Comedy, Dante’s Inferno.

You’ll have to read it and let me know.

it was a fun book, short chapters make it super easy to read, and the interesting content stretches the imagination.

Happy Tuesday!
