A review by mikaelaandherbooks
The City We Became, by N.K. Jemisin

adventurous mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

I really loved the concept for this book and the characterization utilized was fantastic - it really drew you in to the idea of real people embodying the different boroughs of New York City. However, I felt so lost with the magical realism used and several times had to reread passages to try to understand the multidimensional concepts being discussed.
