Complicated
Hi, hello. This book shattered any expectation I had when I first picked it up. I immediately want more. It's described as intricate, but I feel like it might go even deeper than that. Each sentence is connected, somehow, to a past, present, a future - I can't even fathom what's going to happen next.
The narrative itself is deceptively simple and I think it takes a masterful hand - and mind - to hide that complexity as well as Jemisin did. Just wow! The last chapter just pops it all into focus and leaves you stunned for a moment. I am in love.
Highly recommend. Gunna grab book 2 soon. :D
