The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin
2.0
I wanted to like this book.
But around 100 pages in I found myself skimming just to get through it faster. I thought the premise would be interesting but I found it confusing not having one main protagonist - instead you get at least 5. All of the main characters I disliked. I didn’t like their personalities, they all felt somewhat angry?
I couldn’t understand the motive of the antagonist. Why is this happening? Just cuz?
Once again proof that I am not a fantasy reader, I suppose.
