“Beyond the meticulous pacing, the thorough character work, and the staggering ambition and revelations of the narration, Jemisin is telling a story of our present, our failures, our actions in the face of repeated trauma, our responses to the heat and pressure of our times. Her accomplishment in this series is tremendous. It pole-vaults over the expectations I had for what epic fantasy should be and stands in magnificent testimony to what it could be."―NPR on The Obelisk Gate
"Jemisin builds off of the strong foundation laid in The Fifth Season … an interesting new series.”

"Stunning, again."―Kirkus (starred review) on The Obelisk Gate
”[How] can something as large and complex as this story exist in her head, and how does she manage to tell it to me so beautifully? I can’t stand how much I love The Broken Earth trilogy so far…. Absolutely dazzling.“―B&N Reviews on The Obelisk Gate
"Stunning…. Jemisin’s most accomplished series yet."―RT Book Reviews on The Obelisk Gate
"Jemisin is a tremendously talented writer on every level and she’s at the top of her game here.

"Brilliant characters, vivid world, and pacing … .The Obelisk Gate is an incredibly ambitious and important novel."―The Verge on The Obelisk Gate
