Also extremely interesting that the Lovecraftian monsters would take the form of racism. Very Lovecraft of them.
Out of all the characters, I ended up loving Bronca the most. I feel she does the most out of all the characters, and has the most attitude which I love. Her history is rich, and her relationship with Veneza is sweet.
Aislyn is the most frustrating character ever. She is the pinnacle of passive white *conservative* feminism which isn't ACTUALLY feminism but rightful caution and misandry that is created when dealing with the WORST kinds of men; conservatives. But, that kind of white conservative woman "feminism" (misandry) does NOT translate to empathy OR intersectionality. She was INFURIATING!
Can not wait to dig into the sequel, and I hope Aislyn gets her ass handed to her, the bitchy little TRAITOR.
(All racists are traitors to humanity. NK Jemisin is a genius)
