lucybbookstuff 's review for:

The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
3.0
adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Not nearly as good as book 1 and I can feel it starting to go completely off the rails. I'll give book 3 a try but I'm not really excited.

Edit almost 2 years later: changing to 3 stars because I know I didn't really enjoy this one, but 2.5 feels unnecessarily harsh. 💀 Especially considering how good the series is as a whole.
