The Stone Sky (The Broken Earth, 3)
Humanity will finally be saved or destroyed in the shattering conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed NYT bestselling trilogy that won the Hugo Award three years in a row. The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene child can grow up safe. For Nassun, her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world, and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed.

Coming back to goodreads after being away for a while. So I'll skip the long review and just say I loved this series. So much. I don't even know where to start. It felt fresh in so many ways. From the authors voice to the characters to the world building. It came at a perfect time where i was feeling like I was reading the same sci-fi and fantasy stories with slightly different wrapping paper over and over. It was honestly one of the best series I've read in a good decade.
I really wanted to like this more. I like the characters and I found Nassun to be rather intriguing. The mother -daughter push and pull was interesting, as well. It just didn't have that 'spark' for me that I found with the others. I'm definitely impressed with the author, maybe she just ran out of steam. In the preface, she herself talks about how this novel was different from its predecessors in the trilogy. Overall, I felt like it was a little too 'inside baseball,' the language a bit more like an inside joke than I needed/wanted.
