as it stands, though, i'm still being shaped by it. holy fuck!!!! what a story!!!! the casual queerness of characters is sooooo beautiful, too, the way there just happens to be a transwoman and a transman and a little queer polycule going on UGH. the prose is masterful and the characters feel so good and so real and the MAGIC SYSTEM. ohh the magic system is so unique. it takes a little to get a hang of it and i do think there are times where the descriptions get a bit too muddled, but in the end it doesn't matter because the rest of the book is so wonderful. 5/5 stars 100/100 forever for the rest of time.

Beyond Jemisin's incredible world and character development (which, if you know you know, omg! Lol) I found the structure of the story, from first page to last, to be remarkable. I'm fairly certain that if I was not told how well done this book was, I may not have dug into every scene to the extent that I did upon first go through. But goddamnit lol I cannot get over the level of precision in her story structure. The breadcrumbs she leaves... The explanation and then LACK of explanation to guide the reader into drawing those conclusions... The crafting is perfection.

Проблема навіть не в тому, що частина книги написана у другій особі, бо, навіть якби у цьому не було сенсу, мені це все одно не заважало і було нормально. Мені не сподобався сам стиль написання навіть у тих частинах, де все було стандартно і для мене було занадто затягнуто.
Багато разів зустрічається слово “срака” — це плюс 😁
Багато жорстокості по відношенню до дітей.
Всі сексуальні сцени дуже крінжові.
Була виснажена після цієї книги.
Продовжувати читати трилогію не хочеться, вгамувала свою допитливість, прочитавши опис того, що відбувається далі і чим все закінчилося, у Вікіпедії. Бо сама історія цікава. Але для мене вона виявилася розчаруванням.
