i had to stop reading about 1/3rd through because of a few of the trigger warnings i list below, but i am very glad i kept going.
NK Jemisin has such a unique way with words and her characters are all so tangible and emotive. Essun and Alabaster ripped my heart out time and time again, and i empathized with Nassun on so many unexpected levels. i cannot wait to read the (what i have heard will be) thrilling conclusion to the trilogy.
