How it happened is a long story that we get to eventually, but, like, suffice to say, similar to many privileged groups, the Arameri abuse their power. Entire palaces are so rife with magic the walls glow, and keep the impossibly-shaped edifice from toppling. The Arameri have massive stick-up-ass syndrome, but it’s cool because they have all the power in the novel’s world specifically, they have GODS. Yeine, our protagonist is a half-Arameri heiress with none of the coloring or tact of her mom’s people, and she’s in town for a great occasion: to battle her siblings for the right to be the next ruler of the world. Jemisin has it- the godstuff that fuels good fantasy, IMO– by the gallon if we’re lucky, we’ve enough godliness leftover to read from her and learn.
