This series is way better than I’d expected! It’s definitely riddled with “fantasy-speak” of random words that can make it hard to follow, but overall this doesn’t detract from the plot here. I also love how inclusive this series is, the diversity is excellent yet. This was such a good sequel

Jemisin's writing is just amazing. I'm so invested in the story and the characters. I was worried after using a lot of audio books that I have lost my focus and reading stamina but I read this is in under 12 hours and loved every second of it.
