Do not attempt to read The Obelisk Gate without reading The Fifth Season first. Be warned: this is a series you must read in order. As she did in the first book, Jemisin treats her readers as intelligent beings and forces you to make many of the connections without spelling everything out. But overall this is a wonderfully intricate story with multilayered characters, a story that demands you pay attention and savor every new revelation. I have to admit I enjoyed The Fifth Season just a touch more, due to the slower pace of The Obelisk Gate and a slightly more confusing story structure. I’m happy to say it was a more than worthy follow-up and I enjoyed it immensely.
The Fifth Season was one of my top ten books of 2015, and so I was beyond excited to start reading the second book in the series, The Obelisk Gate. The nitty-gritty: More stunning world-building, the return of some beloved characters, and even greater mysteries.
This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
