Fictional Cities
Bill Crider: linked to a list of 10 Literary Cities We Wish Were Real and this is a nice list, but most of them are lands, not cities.
So what are some fictional cities that feel real? Not necessarily ones you'd want to live in or wish were real, but places that from the descriptions in the books seemed to take on a reality of their own?
They don't have to be completely fictional cities. For instance, in recent reads, the London of Ben Aaronovitch's Midnight Riot (Rivers of London) and the revolutionary-era Boston of Barbara Hambly/Barbara Hamilton's The Ninth Daughter felt very real and vital.
