AUTHOR: N. K. Jemisin
This read just like what it is, the second book of a duology that was supposed to be the middle book of a trilogy, but isn't because reality got too weird. The loose story ends from book one are mostly tied up as are the character arcs, while providing a solid foundation for the future of New York City and the multiverses. But what was delightfully and surprisingly weird inn book one is just the accepted reality now and while each main character gets a pov chapter, most feel a bit rushed. Even the secondary plot focusing on New York's mayoral election seems Jemisin's prose still sparkles with personality and I'm glad I read the book. It's a fast read and I did enjoy it. I just wish it could've been what it could and should have been.
