Moving on, there’s a very unique magic (not really the word but, is) system.
I’m quite a writing snob (poor writing just puts me off immediately) and this book has quality. Pick it up if you haven’t already!

I loved the different lived experiences depicted amongst the diverse characters (including a poly relationship!) and he world-building without clear explanation was a fun mystery to unravel as I went along.
Highly recommend, Jemisin has an incredible gift and so much talent! I've already requested the next one in the series from my local library.
