Similar to other Jemisin books I've read - well written, creative, full of drama and magic and real emotions. yet, at the same time, just not fully grabbing at me. This is a well-above average book, but it isn't the kind of thing I'm going to reach out to friends to recommend to all of my friends. Though, those friends may very well love it - it has a lot of pieces that really draw people into books, and is really close to being great.

I remain very impressed with this as a novel. it's a tight telling of a big story close bound to the personal, and the first person narration often tells us more than merely the events. but the story is too often bound up in anime-style plots and images that just don't resonate for me personally.

It’s a good job I read the killing moon before I read this novel otherwise I doubt I would give this author another go, I was expecting a lot of intrigue , I hardly got any intrigue for my tastes instead I got the MC pining for a handsome god. Not for me
