The Obelisk Gate

The Obelisk Gate is a complex book that is phenomenal in every way. The characters are each crafted with care to show individuals capable of a range of complicated views and emotions, and it builds on The Fifth Season wonderfully and thoughtfully. The writing is lovely and often very hard hitting emotionally. I've loved a few of N. K. Jemisin's books, but this is my new favorite by her–and a new favorite of the year and a new favorite book period!

10/10

Old Review Text:
Review to come, but for now I'll just say that this is a wonderful, complex book that's even better than The Fifth Season. The Obelisk Gate is the best 2016 release I've read.
