The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin

4.0

Well... I've always said I love unique stories, and, if this book is anything, it is definitely that! It took me a little while to get into it, but I'm gonna chalk that up to this being my first Jemisin book. As unique as the story is, it had great character development and its pacing was great. The 5 boroughs were interesting as characters. Unfortunately I don't really have a great knowledge of them, so..I can't speak to their authenticity. I did however love the inclusion of cultures,and of their histories found here. As I have said, this was my first Jemisin book now, having finished it, I can absolutely see it not being my last!
