This is a masterfully composed story and an expertly crafted world. I particularly enjoyed the interludes that broke the story here and there - beautiful passages that also foreshadowed and added subtext seamlessly.

There was a consistently morose tone and happy moments were few and far between, which I found trying at times. But overal an excellent book that I would recommend widely. Can't wait to see where the rest of the story goes.

Pure genius I’m in awe
I think abt this all the fucking time 

The way this book was hyped I didn’t think I would deliver but I’m in shock as to how a human being could write something like this and actually pull it off. She is changing and defining the genre in more ways than one I had to go back and reread once I finished, I don’t think I’ll ever find another book like this 

NK Jemisin plzz punch me in the face I would be so honored
