Oh man, I started reading Too Like the Lightning a while ago on the recommendation of a fantasy author friend. It was really good, but I got derailed and then had to take it back to the library and never finished it. I need to pick this series back up. But it's worth saying, N.K. Jemisin deserved those wins. I've read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy and Broken Earth blew my mind when I read it the first time. I had to stop reading sci-fi/fantasy for a while afterwards because nothing could hold a candle to it. It was a master class in craft, with an incredibly well done drip of very thorough world building and some really fantastic reveals. I don't want to say too much - I normally don't mind spoilers but I really loved the reveals in these novels. I don't think I'd have wanted to be spoiled on them going in.
