N. K. Jemisin: The World We Make (Paperback, 2023, Orbit) 3 stars

Is Staten Island really that bad?

3 stars

Does well making up for the first book’s faults: less tortured metaphors of an embodied NYC, more story and world building. Still, none of the five boroughs/characters has a chance to really develop. I’d rather just a low key hang with them all rather than the multiversal drama. I love Jemisin, but this series is my least favorite. She really did rescue it with this second installment though.
