Beyond that, I cannot explain to y’all how much I adore N.K Jemisin and her writing.
She’s one of few authors who I trust to write disabled characters without reducing them to they disabilities. Her ability to weave their existence as disabled people and their existence in society around them is nothing short of artful.

2nd book of April 2022 and 14th of the year:
Picking up ten years after the events of the first book and following new characters, this sequel once again has phenomenal world-building and writing, an adventurous story about strength, love, and what it takes to earn forgiveness, and if you even can in some instances, and complex, interesting characters! I also really liked the connections to the first book, and the audiobook was amazing! So far, I still enjoy The Broken Earth trilogy more, but I will read and recommend everything by N.K. Jemisin, and if you haven’t read anything by her yet, I highly suggest doing so as soon as possible! TW for murder, violence, death, torture, body horror, cannibalism, rape, slavery, epidemic, incest, sexually explicit content, infidelity, sexual violence, confinement, pregnancy, police brutality, medical content/trauma, physical abuse, suicidal thoughts, suicide/suicide attempt, kidnapping, injury/injury detail, gaslighting, gore, grief, blood, religious bigotry, self-harm, war, and xenophobia📚⚔️🎨
