This series (two and a half stories!) is brilliant. It’s wildly imaginative, and populated by complex characters the reader either loves or loves to hate.
The audiobook is STELLAR. This is an inspired production with fantastic sound effects and perfect voicing by Robin Miles. Every character was instantly recognizable, from the delightful New York accents of the main cast, to the beautifully rendered cameo appearances of dozens of other characters, with accents spanning the globe.
It’s my favorite of Jemisin’s works.
