Another series from Jemisin where the sequel is superior to the first installment and greatly benefits from the world building done in the first.  It was really interesting to see how the world had changed since the events of the first book. The romance that I didn't necessarily see coming at the outset, pleasantly surprised me and was probably my favorite part of the whole thing.
