The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
5.0
challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was an incredible second book- evolves everything the first starts in a way that flows and feels so naturally that it doesn't feel like a lore dump/shoehorned in.

Nassun is a real highlight here and Jemisin does a fantastic job of connecting characters and their behaviours in a believable way. Fantastic overall.
