The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin

5.0

Like many cities before it, inter-dimensional war comes for New York, and the city must choose a person in our dimension to become/embody the city and defend it.

This book was gripping - the concept of having one person embody the essence of a city or borough fascinated me. The diversity of NY and the representative people/avatars were so well written! I can’t wait to see where this trilogy goes - I’d love to see more cities and their avatars brought into the story.
