The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin
3.0
Ok what the actual fuck was that?? I’m so confused and I liked so much of it but like damn! Pacing’s a bitch, lore’s kinda all over the place, and the first 350 pages are just intro? Then the big climatic scene happens in like 20 pages??
But I like so much of it! I like that it’s real and raw and that all the POVs are different races and sexualities and….just different. I like the incorporation of real world stuff turned magic.
I want to read the next one but I’m not sure my brain is ready for the next round of WTF? yet. I’ve never liked and disliked a book at the same time so much. Worth a read but also headache inducing. 3.5⭐️
