Read these over the weekend. They're a duology, because Ms. Jemisin ... lost the will to complete it as a planned trilogy but wasn't going to leave it unfinished. Really, *The City We Became* could have served well as a standalone novel--I thought it ended just fine--but the escalation in *The World We Make* made sense. There are some things in both books that pay off in surprising ways, and Ms. Jemisin writes smooth and engaging and funny as hell.
