N.K. Jemison
Volume 1 of The Broken Earth trilogy
First, let me say Really Good Storytelling. I knew nothing about this world before reading and much of the pleasure of this book came in the unfolding of the characters and the plot-line. So I will not ruin for you that same pleasure (which makes this basically a useless summary). Read the book without reading any synopsis. Suffice it to say, the world that is created here is novel and interesting. It is mysterious. The stories of the characters we are following reveal to us as readers complexity and humanity and suggest political and social hierarchies and machinations that are sure to only surface in Vol 2 & 3. I can see why this is award winning and can't wait to continue.
4 stars (out of 4)
