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: sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

El portal de los obeliscos es la segunda parte de «La Tierra Fragmentada», serie que mezcla fantasía épica y ciencia ficción, y que ha hecho merecedora a su autora de dos Premios Hugo a la mejor novela consecutivos: 2017 por la presente y 2016 por La quinta estación (La Tierra Fragmentada 1). Toda era tiene que llegar a su fin. Ha dado comienzo una estación de desenlaces. Empieza con una gran grieta roja que recorre las entrañas del único continente del planeta, una grieta que escupe una ceniza que oculta la luz del sol. Empieza con la muerte, con un hijo asesinado y una hija perdida. Empieza con una traición, con heridas latentes que comienzan a supurar. El lugar es la Quietud, un continente acostumbrado a la catástrofe en el que la energía de la tierra se utiliza como arma. Y en el que no hay lugar para la misericordia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the 2017 Hugo Award for Best Novel "Magnificent" - NPR The acclaimed sequel to the bestselling The Fifth Season, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novel, and a New York Times Notable Book of 2015. 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. Essun once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger -- 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 - and her choices will break the world.

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. ( )
