Karel asked this question about
The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth, #2):
Why did Hoa love Essun specifically? I know form his past he loved Kelenli, but every orogene is presumably a descendant of her? So why in the story does he love Essun, how did he know she would go on to essentially save the world?
Kaleitha Johnson
Also, Essun reminds him of Kelenli specifically for her want to save/change the world
