    5.0
    Enjoyment: 4.0Quality: 5.0Characters: 5.0Plot: 4.5

    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.

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