Customer Reviews
Powerfully resonating ...
... in this second part of the trilogy, we are further enmeshed in an historic struggle that has reached a fulcrum reliant on our key characters. In the tradition of great storytelling, Jemisin’s world resonates on many levels, the patterns deeply considered and the result an elevation of awareness of the significance of individual decision in the face of what is the greater good.
