I clearly love everything by this author. This is the fourth book by her that I’ve read and I have loved every moment of each one. One of my favorite things about them is the social commentary mixed with the fantasy world. I found the ending satisfying, which is something I have found with Jemisin’s books.
I really enjoyed that, in the end, while she didn’t survive as a human, she eventually survived as a stone eater who plans to, together with Hoa, work to change the world for the better.
One nice thing about these books is how they have tons of LGBTQ+ representation, but no character is ever shamed for being a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Most everyone seems either pansexual or ace, and trans folks are a thing that exist and people just notice and move on.

Wow, what an end! Okay, it wasn't perfect, but it really brought everything together brilliantly. I don't know that there's anything unique to add for this book that I didn't have in the previous reviews. What made this one that little bit better was having more of the history and world building expanded.
