Is Staten Island really that bad?

Does well making up for the first book’s faults: less tortured metaphors of an embodied NYC, more story and world building. Still, none of the five boroughs/characters has a chance to really develop. I’d rather just a low key hang with them all rather than the multiversal drama. I love Jemisin, but this series is my least favorite. She really did rescue it with this second installment though.

Not as good as the first one

Not quite as good as "The City We Became". The concept of city avatars can only be stretched so far, I guess. We get to meet a few more cities - which is cool but sometimes verges on stereotype. The political aspects aren't as poignant as in the first book and feel somewhat derivative and unsubtle. But it all comes together really well in the end.
