WOW, this book is a trip! There is sooo much going on and some pretty great twists in here. Jemisin’s mind is incredible, to be able to construct such an intricate story and such an involved premise that feels consistent and solid is beyond me.
For the sake of audiobook, the multiple stories were a bit difficult to track, but when it’s revealed that it’s actually multiple timelines follow a single character, it actually got easier (and sooo much more fun)


I LOVED the rep here too, this fantasy book features so much diversity and different queer representation!! I’m way more intrigued than I thought I would be and am eager to keep reading!
