(Not so) Patiently waiting for the the sequel to come out and praying for a major character arc 🙏
I actually enjoyed this so much more than Jemisin’s Broken Earth series and I’m mad at myself for waiting to read it. Jemisin does an amazing job at making the characters feel distinct and have their own voices all while writing in third person. The descriptions are amazing and really feel like New York the more you learn about the characters.
