The City We Became
by N. K. Jemisin
N.K. Jemisin's The City We Became builds an urban fantasy on a wild premise: when a city grows big and complex enough, it gets born as a living thing with human avatars to defend it. New York gets six of them, one per borough, and something ancient and hostile is bent on stopping that birth.
The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth Book 1)
by N. K. Jemisin
N. K. Jemisin builds a continent that punishes its own people with earthquakes and ash winters, then hands the power to stop them to a caste of orogenes everyone else fears and controls.
