As with [b:The Fifth Season|19161852|The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth, #1)|N.K. Jemisin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386803701s/19161852.jpg|26115977], I found this book (well, eBook) hard to put down. I am now looking forward to the followup, [b:The Stone Sky|31817749|The Stone Sky (The Broken Earth, #3)|N.K. Jemisin|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1478547421s/31817749.jpg|52472813], with great anticipation.

The continuing adventures of the characters, and the addition of a few new ones, kept me going long into the night and I probably would have missed my metro stop if it were not he last stop on the line. I preferred the "multiple story arcs at the same time that are in fact the same story" of the first book but still enjoyed visiting other parts of this fantastic world.
