I was captivated by Yeine’s journey from the first page. Jemisin expertly weaves real-time narrative with alternate perspectives, dialogues and memories and more, that create a rich tapestry of the secrets and desires that fill the palace of Sky. 

While the “ending” was in some ways unsurprising, there were significant reveals that brought the entire story together and set up the sequel brilliantly. I can’t wait to find out what comes next.
