Consider The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin. Recommended by 7 sources.
“This propulsive, idea-rich urban fantasy treats New York City as a living entity, populated by five urgent, point-of-view voices who must unite against an uncanny, city-scale threat. Reading feels cinematic and loud—fast scene changes, vivid neighborhood detail, and stretches of mythic allegory—so what works best is atmosphere, momentum, and clever set-pieces. Limitations: brisk plotting sometimes shortchanges quieter character work and the metaphysical rules can feel dense or uneven; readers wanting slow psychological depth or tight, subtle realism may find it frustrating.”
