The New York Times called this book “intricate and extraordinary” and I agree. For all the intricacies of its world I was never confused or lost. The way Jemisin weaves the details of the world into the narrative kept me immersed in the story from the start to the finish.

This was one of the weirdest fantasy books I’ve read in a while, 10/10 would recommend. And yes, I’ve gone ahead and added the second book in the series to my wishlist for later.

Another book that I think does the “switch perspectives” every chapter thing really really well. I also love this book’s “bone shard magic” concept a lot, writing commands onto bone shards that you then put into a construct is very cool. This is also the author’s debut book which surprised me a bit because the book’s fantasy is very well realized and written.

I know this is becoming a bit of a cliche with these posts but I went ahead and added the second book in this series to my wishlist for later.

I’m not one to usually read romance novels but I thought this book’s combination of romance and fantasy was intriguing. A sort of Pride & Prejudice but with telekinesis. I am happy to say I really enjoyed it. The romance, the drama, the angst, the love poetry, the tension. It’s all so good!

I have added one of Silvia’s other books Mexican Gothic to my wishlist, I will get to it eventually.
