The Killing Moon by N.K. Jemisin
4.0

A good book but not my favorite from Jemisin. I guessed one of the big reveals almost as soon as that plot thread started. I thought this was a very cool world with some dynamic characters, but for a world where magic and religion are so central, I felt disconnected from both. We don't really get to see the uses for the dream humors, mostly the harvesting of them. I wanted to understand the dream world better. The lore was cool and well-written. Basically the ingredients I loved in Jemisin's other novels are here but not combined and used as well imo.
