A solid sequel, though not as amazing as the first. Too much time spent in the geo com in my opinion. The plot moved on and built up to the obelisk gate, setting out a clear plot for the next book.

I thiiiiink I liked the first one better. The perspectives coming together in the first one was chefs kiss. I liked the world building in this one but honestly it got a little too silly at points for me

A worthy follow-up to The Fifth Season. We pick up right where the last book left off with not quite enough recap for my needs - it has been almost a year since I read book 1.

That said we are in the middle of a developing Season (an ecological shift not unlike a meteor impact and dust cloud that threatens to end human life) and not all characters have reached the safety of a comm (community). We flash back and pick up the trail of Nassun, the main character's daughter, who was separated from her mother when the Season began. I enjoyed her development and growth coming to terms with her ability to manipulate the earth. Meanwhile not all is well with the rest of our protagonists in the comm they are living in... and the stakes are raised. Significantly.

I look forward to the conclusion of this story.
