2nd book of April 2022 and 14th of the year:
Picking up ten years after the events of the first book and following new characters, this sequel once again has phenomenal world-building and writing, an adventurous story about strength, love, and what it takes to earn forgiveness, and if you even can in some instances, and complex, interesting characters! I also really liked the connections to the first book, and the audiobook was amazing! So far, I still enjoy The Broken Earth trilogy more, but I will read and recommend everything by N.K. Jemisin, and if you haven’t read anything by her yet, I highly suggest doing so as soon as possible!

anxiousnachos's review against another edition
4.5
There is one very problematic remark about domestic abuse implying women “choose” to take husbands who beat them and are stupid for doing so, which did sour an otherwise excellent read. This remark just made no sense coming from the character it did, and felt so out of touch. This is on page 330 of my copy.
Content warnings: suicide, suicide attempts, blood, violence, murder, body horror, kidnapping, cults, confinement, forced medical procedure, torture, indoctrination, one problematic remark about female domestic abuse victims
