adventurous dark emotional funny hopeful reflective tense fast-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

NK Jemisin has done it again. This book is amazingly written, is a unique story, and is not afraid to broach tough topics. Jemisin makes me uncomfortable in ways that make me evaluate my life, my thoughts, and feelings.
