A review by chan_fry
The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin

4.0

(3.7 of 5) Better than the first book in the trilogy, this second book dispenses with the odd literary tactic of pretending one character was three different people, settles into a chronological order that’s easier to follow, continues with the amazing world-building and story-telling, and is filled with believable, differentiated characters. Still, it’s mostly in the second person and present tense, which is grating.
