Earth Logic by Laurie J. Marks
3.0
If there was a problem with [b:Fire Logic|644341|Fire Logic (Elemental Logic, #1)|Laurie J. Marks|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1390630660l/644341._SY75_.jpg|630504], it was the narrative that a colonized country should be expected to embrace its colonizers. Earth Logic reckons with that narrative and asks how to forge peace with a violent colonizer without resorting to the same tactics they used. The plot isn’t as gripping as the first book, since part of the answer is “decisive inaction,” and I didn’t fully believe some characters’ decision to based on a reading of the glyph cards, which hadn’t been so blindly followed in the first book (IIRC). However, I enjoyed the introduction of two wonderfully complex new characters, Garland and Clement.
