In the second book in the Broken Earth trilogy, we follow Essun and now her daughter Nassun as they explore their orogenic powers by connecting to the obelisks floating above the continent. Castrima is threatened by another comm demanding they give up every orogene if they want to live. Nassun learns how to control her power in the Antarctics under Schaffa's watchful eye while Essun learns everything she can from Alabaster in his weakening state. But is it enough to bring the moon back?
Jemisin's magic continues as we see through both Essun's and Nassun's eyes. You are still Essun, but there is a new POV, there is an I. The jumps from first, second, to third person flows seamlessly because each POV is written so well that it's not as noticeable as one would think. While both Essun and Nassun believe they are trying to save the earth, at this point we have no idea whose methods will win, or even if that win is good for not only earth but humanity as well.
