so in the acknowledgements of THE CITY WE BECAME, jemisin calls it a trilogy, and i realized belatedly (read: at time of purchase) that THE WORLD WE MAKE says "GREAT CITIES DULOGY" and i had a Hunch about why that was so i went spelunking through book 2's acknowledgements before i started actually reading and, uh.

yeah lmao. COVID and Fascism would do it, huh

#text #personal #books #reading #the great cities duology #nk jemisin #i clocked the covid thing but honestly the only reason i can pin that down temporarily is because 19 is in the name 💀#my timeblind ass self has been living in existential dread for the rest of my adult life. so.#i didnt pin the fascism bit down to her publication timeline until she drew attention to it explicitly #like yeah i guess it got Worse Then Huh #it just feels like its been awful forever at this point 😭#ANYWAY #interested to see how she spins it with a shorter second book so lets go 👀
