I am in awe of the kind of world that N.K.Jemisin builds and The Inheritance Trilogy was a treat looking into the gods and mortals and a whole lot of history in between, but I’ve always wanted to read The Broken Earth Trilogy.

I was sad when I tried to get it from Amazon, but realized the shipping costs to Kenya would be twice the cost of the books. Fast forward to February and a colleague gifted me the whole set- so this right here is a post with two memorable quotes from the second book ( The Obelisk Gate) that I noted down.

Put people in a cage and they will devote themselves to escaping it, not cooperating with those who caged them.

But just because you can’t see or understand a thing doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you.
