the prose is still so beautiful at times it hurts. maybe if you're out to critique this book you could say it suffers from the infamous second book slump: stuck between expanding the world painted in book one while setting up the ante for the finale.
i was too engrossed to care. the parallels between mother and daughter, the full circle moments between essun and alabaster, the generational trauma shown from both sides of the divide....yeah.
