nadia 's review for:

The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
4.25
adventurous challenging dark mysterious medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A quality second book to this brilliant trilogy!

I enjoyed the dual narrative and seeing how the characters that we met in The Fifth Season developed. While confusing in parts, which was to be expected, I was intrigued the whole way. I did have to look up a plot summary on Wikipedia though to check that I had understood everything. 

I can't wait to see how Jemisin wraps up her Broken Earth series. I have faith that it's going to be excellent.
