I struggled with this one. I forgot how bleak this series is, or maybe this book is moreso than the first? When I was in the mood, it went down smooth, but when I lost the mood, the going was rough. I had a hard time dealing with just how much pain and despair the characters were consistently dealt. I did enjoy the addition of another perspective, as I'll admit that I have a hard time liking Essun, but even that got deservedly bleak. So yeah. Gonna take a while to work myself up to the final boo

Still so many questions! I am loving this series, but I really think it's just one book split into three manageable volumes. The Obelisk Gate follows on seamlessly from The Fifth Season, and I'll be surprised if The Stone Sky doesn't follow immediately on from this one. Where The Fifth Season was very obviously a first volume, setting up the story, this is obviously a middle book. I roared through it though, and can't wait to get home tonight to make a start on the last book.

So in the beginning, despite having recently finished the previous book, I found myself incredibly confused over who was who in Castrima - but the plot with Schaffa was GREAT and Alabaster's plot line. Also, how characters learn magic is one of my favorite tropes and that was REALLY REALLY well done here. Finally, really like the horror in this one. It's not overt but it's there, and it's nasty. :)
