The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin
4.0
adventurous dark medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

A pretty good Lovecraftian fantasy. I love the idea of cities being incarnated in people living there and giving them special abilities to fight the Big Bad. Felt like the ending was a bit rushed and that they suddenly were able to find a way to defeat the Enemy, but over all, very good!
