Thoughts: I love fantasies, partly because I love to be immersed in a different world. Jemisin constructed a well-built world, but unfortunately plunged the reader in with no guidance. Sure, there is a glossary at the end, but the definitions do not help, and with fantasies, I prefer to learn the world through context clues, not constantly flipping back to the glossary which really disrupts the flow. I found myself lost too many times that I stopped caring and just kept reading, whether I understood what was happening or not.
