Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Can I give this 10 stars? Jemisin is a freaking writing god. If anything, this was better than the 1st book. I rate this series alongside the Stormlight Archive and have no doubts that I'll be reading and rereading them both many, many times. I also recommend the audio version. Robin Miles is a superb narrator. As the Stillness continues its rollercoaster descent into chaos, N.K. Jemisin's "The Obelisk Gate" unfolds a story that's as gripping as a cat trying to hold onto a particularly slippery fish. In this sequel, Essun's quest for her missing daughter takes center stage, with a side of Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of worlds, dropping in like a bombshell. Hold on to your orogeny gloves; it's about to get frosty! Pros: sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML: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 â?? once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger â?? 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 â?? and her choices will break the world. N. K. Jemisin's award winning trilogy continues in the sequel to The Fifth Sea Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

We have Schaffa, who is turned into an even worse monster than he already was, except that for no visible reason he suddenly loves Nassun. Seriously, why? What makes Nassun different than the countless children he has already tortured and murdered? Particularly when he is more than ever under the grip of the entity that controls him. We have Alabaster, whose way to deal with his problems is destroying the world, murdering countless people, and who for some reason is incapable of telling Essun what he wants of her, because if he had then there would be no reason for this book to exist. We have Essun, equally prone to genocide, whose chapters are still narrated in that second person voice that has definitely overstayed its welcome (that's more than half the book, now that there are only two point-of-view characters). Then we have the stone eaters, as murderous as everyone else, going around mysteriously without telling anyone what they want. This makes more sense, since they are so weird, but it gets frustrating to read for so long without any clue of the characters' motivations.
I suppose I'll read book three, hoping it's more like The Fifth Season than like The Obelisk Gate, but whatever is going to happen in that book, it should have happened here and make this a doulogy instead of a trilogy. ( )
