I generally like N.K. Jemisin's work. Like her other series, The City We Became is a mature speculative fiction story with diverse characters who are used interestingly rather than as tokens. I will say this isn't my favorite work of hers. I feel like, even at the end, I still don't really understand how the whole instantiation thing works. Regardless, I enjoyed it.
