The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin
And now the journey continues and
the fight against Father Earth rages on. Essun and Nassun are both on the road
now, one to destroy the world, the other to save it. Both struggling to make it
to their destinations. Their companions remain faithful if not completely aware
of their destinies and why. Each with a stone eater near, constantly watching.
And throughout this, a story is being told. The story of how the seasons began,
how the prisoners fought back and how the world was never the same.
Well, if that's not how you are
supposed to end a series then dammit, I've got nothing. This has such a
satisfying ending, one that was completely unexpected and yet perfectly
fitting. The Stone Sky picks up where
The Obelisk Gate left off and the
readers are thrown right back into a desolate world. I was wary from the
beginning to find out where Nassun and Essun were going, if their paths would
cross and how? The narratives changed between, Nassun in third person, Essun in
second person, and Hoa in first person. While the first two narratives were set
in the present, Hoa's took readers to the past. It was a great decision
executed flawlessly.
I am overwhelmingly pleased with
this trilogy. The world building, character development and plot were so well
done that I often found myself hypnotized by her writing simply unable to put
any of these books down! Jemisin just did an incredible job with the story. I
would definitely recommend this. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
