I love Jemisin as an author. Incredible world building with so much heart. Every culture feels realistic, never exaggerated. Shines in comparison to white authors who've never left their country trying to make non-european worlds. 

The story itself, one of her most straightforward. It's pretty good, but not a twisting mystery like others. Excited to read the second book.
