Ok, I love horror, that makes monsters out of subjects that terrify me; such as racism, sexism, gentrification and tackles my own complicity and identity.

I also love the big f*** you given to Lovecraft even though this is definitely lovecraftian.

I loved how diverse it was and how compassionate.

I loved how this was super whacky and weird and oh wow, I'm on board with this.

N.K. Jemisin, thank you for the experience

I remember reading the beginning of this book in the short story collection How Long’Til Black Future Month? When I read it, I thought that I would enjoy learning what happens next in a full novel.

I enjoyed this book so much that I stretched out my reading of this book by reading like 3-5 books lol. I’m not sure how many lol.

This book appears to me, as a non New Yorker, a love letter to the city of New York.

And, it really does, as the book jacket suggests, “ [tell] a revolutionary story of culture, magic and myths...”

I definitely want to eventually buy this book for my personal library. I’ll have to settle for renewing my library loan so I can reread it.

It says this is the first of Great Cities series, and I am looking forward to book two.

A fun read. Not as interesting or complex as The Fifth Season trilogy, but enjoyable nonetheless.
