“Whether you live or die is irrelevant. You are Arameri, and like all of us, you will serve.”
After completing the masterpiece that is The Broken Earth Trilogy, I knew I had to check out the rest of what NK Jemisin has to offer and her debut did not disappoint. A succession fraught with gods and magic? Sign me up. Jemisin's authorial voice continues to draw me in and get a few solid laughs from me, the main character's internal monologue was so fun and never grew stale. This is a book where I can say it was the right length for the story it is telling. I'm interested to see where this trilogy goes.
