NK Jemisin is one of my favorite authors. I love how she tells a story by building her characters and their worlds simultaneously. This duology is exactly what I hoped for, a tribute to the New York I love. It brought me home and reminded what I missed about the diversity and the strength of a city. I can’t express enough how much I enjoyed this.
