A review by ecos9
The World We Make by N.K. Jemisin
I needed some time to think about this one before drafting a review.
I love NK Jemison. I adore all of the novels I’ve read of hers. The City We Became was brilliant, and funny, and scary and … alive.
This one, however, was tired. The story was excellent and the characters were who I’ve known and loved. But I had such a hard time getting through this one. In the afterword she mentioned changing the series from a trilogy to a duology, and that she considered stopped after the first book altogether. Part of me wishes she had waited a few more years before revisiting this series. I wonder if more distance would have been refreshing instead of exhausting.
I still love Jemison and will read everything of hers I can get my hands on. I just feel like this deserved more.
