The protagonist is bisexual for anyone looking for that representation. N.K. Jemisin’s writing is quite inventive but wow, Jamal Campbell’s Art & Colors are the star of this book. My rating for this book is at 4 simply because DC’s current practice of using lower quality paper in their trade paperbacks just doesn’t do Jamal Campbell’s art the Justice it deserves. If this book gets a Deluxe Hardcover or an Absolute Edition I will without a doubt upgrade and sell off this basic edition for the pure reason of seeing the art at its best.
