![]() ![]() You can tell she lives here and loves it deeply. What makes this book so fun is how Jemisin infused these avatars with the culture, history, and lifeblood of their boroughs. But NYC’s birth gets disrupted by an ancient enemy who wants to stop it from being born, and so our six characters have to find each other to fortify and protect New York so it can finish being born and live on. Except New York has not one, but six avatars: one for each borough, and one for the city as a whole. To help that process complete, there is always a human who takes on the city’s life force a living avatar. The premise is really imaginative: All cities, when they reach a certain age or cultural tipping point, are born into living things. You’ll see lots of people describe it as a love letter to NYC, and as a person who lives here, I had such a good time reading it. “This is the lesson: Great cities are like any other living things, being born and maturing and wearying and dying in their turn.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Text preferences in Immersive ReaderĬhoose from a wide variety of text and color options such as Text size, Text spacing, and Page themes to enhance your experience in Immersive Reader.įind these settings in Text preferences from the Immersive Reader toolbar.

You don't see writers going back and changing a character's motivations at the beginning of the story so they match the motivation at the end, so plotting with a character's backstory or personality isn't going to translate into wasted time later when I'm editing. With some elements, like a character's personality and understanding of the world, that change is a good thing. The problem with plotting is that a story always changes some aspect of anything you plot. TQ: Are you a plotter, a pantser or a hybrid?Įmily: Definitely a hybrid. I'm kind of a compulsive storyteller, and once I started doing original fiction in high school I found that I didn't really want to do anything else. I started writing when I was very young, but the first thing I remember really working on was a sprawling Harry Potter Mary-Sue fanfic composed in 24 point fourth-grade handwriting. When and why did you start writing?Įmily: Thank you so much for having me! It's good to chat with you. ![]() ![]() But it isn’t until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari-a lonely destiny that leaves her feeling more like a weapon than a girl.Īsha conquers each dragon and brings its head to the king, but no kill can free her from the shackles that await at home: her betrothal to the cruel commandant, a man who holds the truth about her nature in his palm.
