N.K. Jemisin's Great Cities duology reignited my love/hate relationship with new york. Its exactly the thing Veneza reminds Brona of in The City We Became, everyone from nyc says they hate the city but we never fuckin leaveee and we go hard for the city. So fuckin true, trust you can take the person out of nyc but ur not taking nyc out of the person. I have been recently unemployed and had just been re-exploring the city and these books came at the right time as I traveled through buroughs and just took them in and got involved in the community again. There's something about walking the streets and visiting the neighborhoods that the book describes that made me feel like I could feel the city breathing too. Mostly it was nice to read a queer fiction novel set in nyc or with new yorkers that ACTUALLY felt like new york, especially the main characters. I have met Bronca irl (an old college prof i had a crush on) I've met Brooklyn (past mentors), I've met Padmini, Neeks (classmates) and Aislyns (Pre school teachers who gave me the accent I have now cus they came to work in my burough from Staten Island smh), I'm glad i havent met Manny's yet jaja, but im sure he's walking around somewhere here too. I think it's a must for native New Yorkers!
Its been a while since i was blown away by a book and to have it be a series set in the city that raised me was a very neat treat. I'm excited to dive into more of N.K. Jemisin's work after finishing this.

Central Park is the grandiose symbol of the front yard each child in New York hasn't got.

"Be alert. Be aware. Speak up."
Says the lanyard of a man fully sleeping on the subway. I'm pretty sure he's snoring.
I am getting mixed signals sir.
