Early Impressions of N.K. Jemisin's Writing

I really relish the political aspect of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms.  This is probably my favorite approach to politics I've seen in a fantasy or sci-fi thus far. N. K. Jemisin is an incredibly thoughtful writer.  I hear this is one of her earliest works, too, so I'm looking forward to reading The Broken Earth trilogy as well.  The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms is very much a feel of fantasy with a bit of sci-fi thrown in (so far), whereas what I know of The Broken Earth trilogy suggests it leans more heavily on the sci-fi component but that there's still a fantasy element as well.
