The beginning of the book is very interesting and grabs your attention immediately. The point of view is really different: it seems to be second person with a level of omniscient. This choice sets the story and makes the characters feel personal. The setting is also very well woven in: the social system is set up very clearly and naturally.

I love the world building, it's intricate and Jemisin does an excellent job with continuity throughout the world, and having an interesting magic system. I find her characters not the most compelling, but still enjoyable. The plot is well paced and I'm curious how the book will end, I suspect that it will end where it started in some ways. I am also very curious when Syenite's perspective takes place.
