Very good. N.K. Jemisin is a very good writer. The characters made me want to keep reading. There are a few snaggy parts, but they do get cleared up by the end of the book. I think her character analysis is amazing. She makes characters worth reading about, which I find in most books is not the case. I love how the characters aren't whiny, or complain, which I feel other writers tend to use as a growing point for their character development. I can't stand it when the characters just whine and whine and whine until 30 pages before the end of the book. I do think the main character in this book gets into complaining, but it isn't her style so it doesn't last through the whole book. It is relieving to read something different. The fantasy world is pretty narrow I think, and it is good and refreshing to pick something up that is different from most other books.
