I don't typically read adult fiction, much less high fantasy, but wow. I am still reeling from this book. I listened on audio off and on over a period of around seven months, so after finishing I had to go back to the beginning and reread. And then I just started rereading everything. This book is /so/ well structured, and the way everything comes together is mind-blowing. I am in awe of Jemisin's skill. And despite listening to it over such a long period, I didn't forget where I was, or lose interest in the story.

If you're up for a mind-blowing read, this book is for you. If you're up for a heavy story that faces the cruelty people are capable of, and the love that rises to that challenge, and the humanity of mistakes and regret, this book is for you.

Enjoy the ride.
