Jemisin has created something entirely new in fantasy. Her world is something I haven’t seen before. Her world has a rich history, referenced in this book but ready to be fleshed out in future volumes. Original and yet familiar. Beautiful and yet cruel. Very much an exploration on colonialism as well as the replacement of polytheism with Christianity. Jemisin touches on the ways of matriarchy and patriarchal hatred of it. So much to digest and yet there’s even more in future volumes. What an achievement!

I am in awe of the minds of writers that can develop totally new worlds from their own imaginations. Such is the case of Rawlings and such is the case of N. K. Jemisin. I enjoyed the read entirely from my iPad Pro and looking forward to her next book. Kudos!

It was really just not good.. It wasn't the worst, I blame the editing. With practice this author could amount to something interesting, especially if they look outside their own warped idea of how things work and actually observe human interaction.

Soooo good!!!
