A quality second book to this brilliant trilogy!
I enjoyed the dual narrative and seeing how the characters that we met in The Fifth Season developed. While confusing in parts, which was to be expected, I was intrigued the whole way. I did have to look up a plot summary on Wikipedia though to check that I had understood everything.
I can't wait to see how Jemisin wraps up her Broken Earth series. I have faith that it's going to be excellent.
