Finished _The Obelisk Gate_.
I thought this one was great, and it even increased my appreciation for the first book of the series. Jemisin captures the emotional tension of the characters so well.
Started _The Obelisk Gate_ by N.K. Jemisin.
"Say nothing to me of lost innocents, unearned suffering. When a comm builds atop a faultline, do you blame its walls for crushing the people inside when they inevitably fall? Some worlds are built upon a faultline of pain, held stable--temporarily--by nightmare walls. Don't lament when they fall apart. Lament that they were ever built in the first place."
- From #TheObeliskGate by #NKJemisin (Book 3 of the #BrokenEarth series)
Finished the Broken Earth Trilogy and oh man, what a ride!
I think I will chew on those books for a while now.
I'm now well into The Obelisk Gate, book two of N.K.Jemisins Broken Earth series, and I'm really into this series.
Book 1 has been a heady mix of tender moments, great characters and emotional gutpunches and Book 2 seems to continue in this direction, at least so far.
While I normally don't really pay attention to awards, those Hugos do seem well-deserved.
TFW you read a book and suddenly a small detail clicks into place and you see the direction the story will go and it's precisely where you want it to go the least and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!
5 out of 5 stars to The Obelisk Gate by N. K. Jemisin because boy did it keep the interesting story coming. I cannot wait until The Stone Sky comes in at the library.
