Group Buddy Read (Series in Progress) - The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth #2) by N. K. Jemisin - Starting August 1, 2021

[Dee Dee, Head Nuisance in Charge]

This is the way the world ends... for the last time.

The season of endings grows darker as civilization fades into the long cold night. Alabaster Tenring – madman, world-crusher, savior – has returned with a mission: to train his successor, Essun, and thus seal the fate of the Stillness forever.

It continues with a lost daughter, found by the enemy.

It continues with the obelisks, and an ancient mystery converging on answers at last.

The Stillness is the wall which stands against the flow of tradition, the spark of hope long buried under the thickening ashfall. And it will not be broken.

Jumping right in before I procrastinate until the last minute

Up to ch 7 - it's a good thing I started this so soon after reading the first one. (view spoiler)[It picks up right where the fifth season ended but adds a bit more context so I'm not as confused as I was before. I also like the glimpses of what's happening with Nassun and her father too (hide spoiler)]

Up to ch 15 - Rust, I don't know anything any more. But I am enjoying it

I did it again. I finished without updating. Oops...
