I’m curious to see how the next book is structured! I’m not sure it even can be structured the same, but i’m interested to see how the differences will change the reading experience. I’m not always a fan of multi-pov but this one was so delicious that i fear nothing can top it.
also—don’t even get me started of the allegory of it all. masterful!!!

Moderate: Transphobia
The transphobia feels like it's *meant* to be inclusive, but felt bad to me and every other trans person I know who has read the book. Jemisin gets better about her trans characters later in her career.anniehayez's review against another edition
