A five star series, my favorite work from N.K. Jemisin so far (that's saying alot), and potentially a favorite series of all time. I didn't realize that these books, while connected by a common core of characters and a general plot, are more companion novels than sequential books in an interconnected series. Usually with series like that, I inevitably fall more in love with one book/story more than the others. Not so here. I am trash for this entire series, and I'm SO glad my mom got me the giant bind-up so I can hop straight into the novella!
