My favorite surprise in this collection of short stories is just how excellent Jemisin's dialogue can be. Many of my favorite stories were stand-alone and unrelated to the existing novel universes. This is a good read - you're in for a treat.

The women in this book might have had charachters had they been written as men. As writen, however, they represent a very large number of pages that could have been cut from the book with only positive effect. This may have been the first time I wished than an author would skip writing women.
The other part of this book that concerned me was its lack of creativity. The plot relies on the creativity of a number of charachters across a multi-century timespan. Unfortunately, there was but one author, whose own creativity didn't seem up to the task. What's more, the main secret throughout the book didn't need to be kept either from the reader or from other charachters at all.
The author could do better with a strong editor and with a good bit more respect both for women and for readers' intelligence. I found this book …

The charchters, plot, and dialog are well written and I quite enjoyed the ideas it introduced. That said, I felt that sometimes the plot got in the way of some of the ethical and moral questions the later part of the book raised.
I would have very much enjoyed a some extrapolation on these themes towards the end of the novel. Instead, the ending seemed to be hasty and entiirely plot-driven, not giving much of any consideration to the provokative ideas that it had just introducted.
