This was an excellent collection of I think 22 short stories by Jemisin, on all sorts of different topics, but all featuring characters of colour. I was expecting a bit more of a SF lean and the majority of stories instead leant more towards fantasy, but there are both in the collection and sometimes the line between the two is blurred ... any technology sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic, after all.

One story appeared to be set in the world of the Broken Earth trilogy, and probably made a lot more sense if you'd read those already, but the rest all appeared to be stand-alone stories that didn't require any other context. Enough were set around New York City to make me suspect that's where Jemisin lives, or once lived, but there are others set in different parts of America and some outside this world entirely. I enjoyed almost all of them and was very impressed how varied her tone could be from story to story. Highly recommended!
