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.
