“But then, how can they? Who misses what they have never, ever even imagined? That would not be human nature. How fortunate, then, that there are more people in this world than just humankind.”

Speaking about the unconventional... the world and magic system ! I admire how unique and thoroughly researched it was. Jemisin really succeeded to make me interested in geology 😂.
The three POVs served the mysterious aspect of the story perfectly as it allowed the author to lead the reader step by step (or should I say hint by hint) to the reveals.
(I do want to add that I don't know why I find the cover so mesmerising but I just do... anyone else ?)

This book is majorly fucked up; especially the scenes in the Fulcrum. Read at your own risk.the_bees_books's review against another edition
