monstrouscosmos's review against another edition

4.5

I really like NK Jemisin as a rule, and these short stories are largely no exception. a lot of heavy themes were tackled with a focus on individual and community survival and connection. I admit to struggling through a lot of the stories, and skipping a couple that ended up having triggering themes/events. I extremely enjoyed the stories connecting peoplehood to places, that's a theme in Jemisin's work I love to return to! I don't know if I'll reread this one, but I'm glad to have read it the one time at least for sure.
