Wow.

This is every bit incredible as people say it is. 

Jemisin’s writing is masterful, leading to gripping storytelling that keeps the reader puzzling pieces together. I really enjoyed how information was slowly funneled out. It left mystery to many bits and pieces along the way, and led to shocking connections and plot twists. It was hard to put this one down & I am already certain I’ll want to re-read it.

If you've never read any of Jemisin's work start here. I suggest reading it along with the audiobook to avoid confusion other readers may have encountered. Robin Miles has a way of making each character distinct and draws you into the story. The last 4-5 chapters will definitely send you for a loop and leave you wanting to read The Obelisk Gate.
