The City We Became
by N.K. Jemisin
I feel entirely underwhelmed by this book. There’s so much hype around the author and their other works that I expected amazing and instead I feel like I got alright. Now, this could very easily be a “it’s not you, it’s me” situation since I don’t really like fantasy, but this didn’t feel like fantasies fault?
The beginning of the book was very confusing and I had no idea what was going on. Then I felt like there was A LOT of background information and build up throughout the rest of the book for what I would call a very anticlimactic ending. I was just bored. A classic case of what happens when your expectations are too high.
