Friday 27th May book is...‘The City We Became’ by N.K.Jemisin

​​We're focusing on this book for May, please make sure you're familiar with the text before class.

Synopsis

​​Five New Yorkers must band together to defend their city in the first book of a stunning new series by Hugo award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N. K. Jemisin.

Every city has a soul. Some are as ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York City? She's got five.

But every city also has a dark side. A roiling, ancient evil stirs beneath the earth, threatening to destroy the city and her five protectors unless they can come together and stop it once and for all.

N.K. Jemisin (b.1972) is an American science fiction and fantasy writer. Her speculative works range from fantasy to science fiction to the undefinable; her themes include resistance to oppression, the inseverability of the liminal, and the coolness of Stuff Blowing Up. A multi-Hugo Award winner, her other works include numerous short stories and The Broken Earth Trilogy.
