5.0

My only regret concerning this book is that I waited so long after reading the first volume of this trilogy. N. K. Jemisin has crafted a complicated and wholly believable universe with a diverse cast of characters that, in my opinion, well deserves the multiple nominations and awards, including the 2016 Hugo, it has garnered. A gripping combination of adventure, character development, and plot twists I can highly recommend "the Obelisk Gate".
