Couldn’t put it down. I love this author. So far I’ve only been fortunate enough to read the Broken Earth Trilogy (HIGHLY recommend btw) but hey books are expensive. It was just chance that I searched her name and found this new one. So exciting!! I’m from New York so it was especially exciting. I was surprised she wrote about a real city but I think she nailed it. I feel like this author is so talented. She writes soooo weeeeeell and different than anything else I’ve read. Just even the way she writes her sentences, it’s hard to explain, but it’s just really impressive. I don’t want to give anything away, but definitely read this author if you love a fascinating imagination and content that has meaning. It makes you think and feel a lot of stuff.

The novel which never became. Very disappointing work of absurdist fiction. 3/4 of the book is prelude, and flowery exposition, which never amounts to anything. The rules of the novel are never explained. A handful of ordinary people become the boroughs of New York City, to fight off an inter dimensional ‘woman in white’. Really. That’s it. It never makes any sense. I was born and raised in NYC. Nothing about this work rings true.

Love!!!. Still one of the best authors ever!!!! A great read!!

Epic Epic Epic. Fantastic, I love her writing! Read everything by this amazing author. I can’t wait for the next book and the next book, but I will.

A good read with one issue. Compelling story. Well written characters. Beautiful linguistic style. One knock was that the reader was expected to take large leaps of faith as the explanation for what was happening and how it was happening was somewhat murky.

Good fun read. Loved

So thrilling and so much fun. What an adventure. As a Jersey boy living on the Northern Left Coast, it was a delight to see so many of the tri-state metro area’s quirks hailed and glorified as heroic power. Goosebumps and edge of my seat reading were part of the reading. PLEASE turn this into a graphic novel.

Living cities! A joy to read. Expanded my imagination & had me wondering about how my own left coast city would present itself.

Jemisin has done it again. Truly a master at her craft, this story is a fun romp through New York and other dimensions that was a ton of fun to read. The world building is unparalleled. And where most fictions set in New York feature nothing but white people, it is refreshing to see a cast of characters actually reflect who actually lives in the city. I can’t wait for the next one!!
