N. K. Jemisin
Four-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts a glorious tale of identity, resistance, magic and myth. All is not well in the city that never sleeps. Even though the avatars of New York City have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading—and destroying the entire universe in the process—the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and "law and order" may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and take it down from the inside. In order to defeat him, and the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good and protect their world from complete destruction.N.K. Jemisin’s Great Cities Duology, which began with The City We Became and concludes with The World We Make, is a masterpiece of speculative fiction from one of the most important writers of her generation.The Great Cities DuologyThe City We BecameThe World We Make

"After I read the first book, I was thinking the sequel was going to be boring but I loved it. I do think that Aislyn could’ve been written better. But that’s just the opinion of a queer and trans Staten Islander (I know there are more Aislyns then there are Finnoula’s on this island)<br/><br/><br/>I definitely love the dynamics between the Boroughs and how Brooklyn knows Beyoncé? It’s wild! the side chapters like Bell and Relia. Bc with Bell you get the perspective of the outsider looking in. I love it. Also showing the fight through the eyes of Relia was a great twist! Also! Robin Myles is an incredible! she really sells the 50 accents! And the post-production is so fun! I loved every second of it!!!!<br/><br/>One more thing, the unapologetic queerness of the characters was my favorite part of the book. I do love how this book is a true love letter to the entirety of NYC and Jersey City! Just incredible!!! Don’t **** with NYC, otherwise known as Neek!"
