No surprise that I loved this book, because N.K. Jemisin is amazing! The first part of my review video is spoiler free (~6 minutes) and then I discuss in more detail that includes spoilers after a brief and obvious interlude. Let me know what you think if youve read the book or what youre excited about if you havent read it yet!
