N.K. Jemisin’s ”Obelisk Gate” Part 1

WE. ARE. BACK for another season of the Colored Pages Book Club! Our Summer Short Series may be over, but fear not, as we have many many great novels in store. To kick off, we'll be discussing the first part (until Chapter 13) of Obelisk Gate, the sequel to Fifth Season and second novel of the Broken Earth trilogy! As this is a sequel, be sure to check out episodes 1 and 2 of the podcast if you need a refresher! With that aside, rest up as we discuss whether or not the Earth is alive, the strange comforts of nihilism, Jija's annoying ass, our own ability to cause harm, and much much more! 

Icebreaker Question: 2:54 - 13:12

Plot Summary: 13:32 - 54:36

Discussion: 54:46 - 1:38:23
