My biggest issue truly was just that the chapters are SO LONG. It is not a book you can “just one more chapter” much. The plot was a little complicated at first, but if you have read other work by N.K. Jemisin before it makes it easier. Overall a very fun time, also made me cry at one point. A LOT of character in the writing and you can tell a lot of thought and love was put into it. Only taking .75 points off for pacing.
