This was a fantastically enjoyable read, and the world building has the potential to be top-notch! The second-person POV is an interesting technique and comes with many dangers, but for the most part Jemisin handles it with ease. The in-world politics have the potential to be fascinating, but for now (hopefully!) the intrigue is left to hints and passing mentions. I'm very hopeful this book is the first in a truly excellent series!
