This book was staggering. It was my first time reading Jemisin and I wasn't ready. I don't know if you could ever be ready. This book is the first installment of The Broken Earth trilogy. It won the Hugo Award for best sci-fi novel in 2016 making Jemisin the first African American woman to receive the award. She then proceeded to win the same Hugo award in 2017, and 2018 as she continued the trilogy. Staggering worldbuilding. Heartwrenching plot. Epic, sweeping story that a review just cannot do justice. This is what the best sci-fi looks like.
