Mark Carroll's Journal

I read the Jemisins years ago. The first one was interesting, though it gave me a rather weird sense of being Lovecraft fanfiction, and a villainess who would make a Flatlander look three-dimensional. The second one was a sort of Semele myth in reverse. And the third was just really rather bad. A general tendency in all of them to give the conceptual framework more weight than the characters, world or plot could sustain. I haven't read her subsequent books because my tolerance for didactic fiction is low.
