JR reviewed The Obelisk Gate by Jemisin N. K.
Really a 3.5
3 stars
Another solid sequel, better than most sequels. Again well crafted but the viewpoint characters aren't my favorite so I stop the rating at a 3.5
Paperback, 391 pages
English language
Published Sept. 9, 2016 by Orbit.
THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS ... FOR THE LAST TIME. The season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the long cold night. Essun -- once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger -- has found shelter, but not her daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request. But if Essun does what he asks, it would seal the fate of the Stillness forever. Far away, her daughter Nassun is growing in power - and her choices will break the world. For more from N.K.
