Yeah, while I respect Jemisin and think her work is excellent and I hope she writes a dozen more books, I personally always end up feeling weirdly discouraged reading her novels, in a way that's hard to articulate? I think maybe it's just so many horrible things happen, so her short stories worked better for me personally.
And d'oh, I don't know why it didn't occur to me that a lot of these stories were published previously and weren't all new works, whoops.
