Impeccable world building and storytelling. While I was utterly confused after the prologue, it also managed to captivate me right away. Also, the way Jemisin switches between the three POVs and timeline throughout the story adds so much depth to the characters and the world.
It’s a beautifully written story in which Jemisin tackles heavy themes of oppression, trauma, and racism so effectively. This book has left a massive impression on me and I’m looking forward to diving into the next book.

An introduction to the Fantasy genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Fantasy and Sci-Fi with a Side of Romance 🐉💘🚀

Dramatic battles, tense political intrigue, unique world building...and is that maybe some romance I'm sensing? These books are not Romantasy but focus primarily on the SFF elements. Romance is a subplot and may not appear until later in the series, but when it does, you won't be disappointed.

I can honestly say I've never loved a gingerbread man more than I do now.
