The Obelisk Gate
448 pages, 2016
This is the way the world ends. For the last time. The season of consummation grows darker as civilization fades into the long cold night. Alabaster Tenring – a madcap, world–clincher, and rescuer – has returned with a charge to train his successor, Essun, and therefore seal the fate of the Stillness ever.
It continues with a lost son, set up by the adversary. It continues with the shrines and an ancient riddle clustering on answers at last. The Stillness is the wall that stands against the inflow of tradition, the spark of stopgap long buried under the thickening ashfall. And it'll not be broken.
In The Obelisk Gate, N. K. Jemisin explores the theme of motherhood in a unique way. The protagonist, Essun, is a mother who will do anything to protect her child. This book shows us that a mother's love can be a powerful force, even in a world that's falling apart.
The book takes us into a dystopian world where survival is a constant struggle. It's a reminder that no matter how tough things get, we have the strength to keep going. So, if you're feeling down, take a look at Essun's journey for some inspiration.
Change is a major theme in The Obelisk Gate. The characters, and the world they live in, are constantly evolving. This book teaches us that change is inevitable, and we should embrace it rather than fear it.
Jemisin uses her characters to explore the concept of identity. She shows us that who we are is not defined by what others think of us, but by our actions and choices. This book encourages us to dig deep and find our true selves.
In a world divided by fear and hatred, the characters in The Obelisk Gate find strength in unity. This book shows us that when we stand together, we can overcome any obstacle. So, if you're feeling alone, remember that there's power in unity.
