Jemisin is really, really good. Her world-building is fantastic, her characters devastatingly sharp. I put the book down for a week or two in the middle, but then came right back and blew through the ending. It strikes me how this is one of the most radical books I've had the pleasure of reading - 
 peopled almost entirely with women/WoC characters, writing heartbreakingly about the effects of oppression... There's always a moment with Jemisin's books where I'm sorta groping along in a haze of confusion, but I trust that when I work through it, it'll pay off. And it always does.
