I read the prequel, but this one I listened to on audio and I’m so glad I did! The narrator is phenomenal and they include sound effects.

A super fun conclusion to this epic story! I'll miss meeting all of the city avatars and watching New York fight an otherworldly entity that weaponizes hate, political unrest, and corporate stores. I feel like I wanted a little more from the ending than this whole Digimon-esque wrapup, but was not deebly disappointed.

okay, wow. Didn't think this series could get any better, but yeah. I loved this so much.

Spoiler

You can't just bring up BEYONCE and then not address that again?? Or was I reading too fast and missed it?

Also, Manny's family KNEW about Cities?? AAAHHH.

NK Jemisin is one of my favorite authors. I love how she tells a story by building her characters and their worlds simultaneously. This duology is exactly what I hoped for, a tribute to the New York I love. It brought me home and reminded what I missed about the diversity and the strength of a city. I can’t express enough how much I enjoyed this.
