The Stone Sky (The Broken Earth, 3)

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 listened to the audiobook and though I could figure out whose voice was speaking or thinking most of the time, sometimes I was a little lost. I wonder if it was as difficult actually reading the book. I did like it though.

An excellent end to an excellent trilogy. I cant wait to see what NK Jemisin comes up with next!

This is a gorgeously written science fiction / fantasy trilogy with a beautiful ending. It has loveable, multi-faceted characters living in a dystopian world; complex world-building and magical geological systems; themes of cultural conflict, oppression, and the complexities of motherhood; and a thrilling climax of an adventure. The narrative is unique and heartfelt. The point of view switches constantly and you won't always know who's speaking until the end of a scene or sometimes even chapters later. Go with it - it all comes together with a glorious bow. The audiobook narrator was amazing, but I honestly had to reference the glossary in Will's physical copies, haha.

I can see why N.K. Jemison has won so many literary awards. "Her Broken Earth series made her the first African American author to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, as well as the first author to win in three consecutive years, and the first to win for all three novels in a trilogy." A+++

Third and final book in the series. This one is where I started slowing down. I don’t know if it was just a general reading slump or it truly moved slower. However, it was a perfect ending to the trilogy!
