NKJ has woven themes of oppression and motherhood so effortlessly into a SFF world that you can feel it in every page.
Why you need to read this series:
LGBTQI+ representation
The pros
Found family
The world building and magic system is insane
This series is unapologetically black

Minor: Genocide and Racism
Characters and races in the novel are systemically poorly treated and abused; in the background it is clear that genocide has been conducted upon one group for centuries. It is fairly easy to see parallels to our contemporary history. However, all of these issues are treated sensitively and with an appropriate sense/discussion of injustice.totallyshelfaware's review against another edition
