Why read it?
2 authors picked The Obelisk Gate as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
N.K. Jemison is a masterclass in compelling, complex characters, deeply original worlds, and plot.

I love how multiple plot lines and characters were woven together seamlessly, and even some topics from the first book were fleshed out. This was an impactful read, highlighting the bond of mother and daughter and many other important themes of oppression, discrimination, and prejudice.
