5.0

There was something about this novel that was so real. I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing about New York and Jemisin effortlessly taught people like me what the different boroughs are and the various experiences of the people living there without having almost any exposition. We end up loving each different version of New York that the characters see, just because they love it and we can see it through their eyes.
