Publisher Description

Four-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts a glorious tale of identity, resistance, magic and myth.

All is not well in the city that never sleeps. Even though the avatars of New York City have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading—and destroying the entire universe in the process—the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and "law and order" may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and take it down from the inside. 

In order to defeat him, and the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good and protect their world from complete destruction.

N.K. Jemisin’s Great Cities Duology, which began with The City We Became and concludes with The World We Make, is a masterpiece of speculative fiction from one of the most important writers of her generation.

Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“The second book in Jemisins Great Cities duology has exactly the same strenghts and weaknesses as the first, so I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed The City We Became! Tonally, the book is super funny, and once again shows how jemisins creativity is unmatched! Unlike her other novels, jemisin chooses to deals with the social themes of the novel (white feminism, gentrification, and far right ideology) in a blunt and un-nuanced way, but there is something liberating about not being obligated to engage with opinions which view your life and community as lesser than. Many character arcs and plot developments were definitely rushed through, which makes sense given the change from a trilogy to a duology, but overall this book is entertaining and a fun read!”

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“What a story! A theatrical and fantastic dystopian-ish science fiction series that reads like the ultimate fever dream. Very timely, fantastical yet super realistic which is a wild juxtaposition. I recommend the audiobook for the sound effects!”
