A lovely visit back to the INHERITANCE world created by N.K. Jemisin. Three short stories, all very good. Nahadoth's was my favorite; it felt the most like the character it was about, thus making it easier for my mind to remember details yet to come. As for the other two, I found myself wishing I had re-read THE INHERITANCE TRILOGY just before reading them- but even though I could not remember needed details to get the full impact of these stories, they were still compelling & exceptional. The writing, as always, was superb.
