The ableism got to be too much for me.

The treatment of

the Staten Island avatar's panic attacks and abuse history

were bad, but I was willing to give Jemisin more of a chance because sometimes it takes more than one time showing a character to work through complicated issues. Then the fact that making buildings accessible makes them "not New York enough" 

so that the enemy can attack them

made me pause reading. I usually read a few reviews when I'm considering quitting a book. What I found out is that

the treatment of the Staten Island character gets even worse

. I'm not willing to invest more time in this series based on that, and I'm reconsidering whether I ever read other Jemisin books.
