What. A. Book. what a book. wow. the second book wasn't as good as the first and to be fair, this one too isn't as good as the first one. but that's because the plot lines and plot twists aren't as unpredictable as they are in The Fifth Season. i feel like everything that N. K. Jemisin opened for the plot was closed and answered without having some kind of treatise because she puzzles it beautifully into the last fifty pages or so. i just love how N. K. Jemisin writes characters and lets them live through so much pain and growth and how she puts them in a so well thought world without overexplaining it. yes, there would be the opportunity to write another book or even another trilogy within this book, maybe even with the same characters but just because the world is so big and so interesting.
