kang_trav 's review for:

The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin
4.0
challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The tradeoff between Book 1 and this one is explosiveness in favor of more emotional depth. It is a lot slower than how we got introduced to this world, and doesn't really expand outwardly as far as world building, but overall it is a smooth transition to what will hopefully be some sort of reckoning with the next one in the series.
