I’ll have to revisit this when I can form better sentences, but N.K. Jemison just single-handedly gave me a whole new paradigm on fantasy. Truly stunning, the story, the characters, the quality of the writing itself, so incredible. This was the fastest I’ve read a thicc book since middle school. So excited to dive deeper into her work.
