The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth, 2)
Description
Essun's missing daughter grows more powerful every day, and her choices may destroy the world in this "magnificent" Hugo Award winner and NYT Notable Book. (NPR) The season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the long cold night. Essun -- once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger -- has found shelter, but not her daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request. But if Essun does what he asks, it would seal the fate of the Stillness forever. Far away, her daughter Nassun is growing in power -- and her choices will break the world. N. K. Jemisin's award winning trilogy continues in the sequel to The Fifth Season.

Every bit as good as the first in this series, Obelisk Gate is both the chronicle of the end of the world, this time, and the story of love fulfilled. Essun and her daughter Nessun are the heroines of the story, but never manage to be in the same place at the same time. Even so, they both struggle to learn how to be who they are meant to be and to love, unconditionally.
