This is certainly quite a bit different from the breathtaking Broken Earth trilogy that she wrote. Hopefully it will grow on me. I’m not a big fan of urban fantasy.

“A large fraction of Americans wanted or needed to believe they lived in an enchanted time or place, that the country swarmed with supernatural wonders, and that mid-nineteenth century America was like the holy land of the early first century, when Jesus was only one among many itinerant prophets and wizards and healers wandering the eastern Mediterranean.”

Asking ‘What is the meaning of life?’ Is analogous to asking ‘What is the best move in chess?’ Is a marvelous way of reframing the absurdity of that question.
