I finished the Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemisin last nightt at 3 am and it ripped me in half.

Alabaster is not supposed to die. But their son was also not supposed to die. Tonkee is cool but annoying and needs to be a better listener. The complexities of the relationships and how they are impacted by the war, factions, preceonvecied ideas, and the fact that these people decided to dig a hole in the ocean and live in there?! Excuse me?!

Also, DIAMOND BONES. How creative can you get? The GORE in this book was so much too. WHO TAKES A BITE OUT OF SOMEONE ELSE’S SKULL? HOW DO YOU SURVIVE THAT?!

Anyone who has not read this is missing out.

Onto the third book in this trilogy.
