Why read it?
2 authors picked The Stone Sky as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recommend the entire Broken Earth trilogy, but the final book does the most interesting things with the seriesâ latticework of narrative symmetry. By this point, itâs clear that a mother and her daughter are the centerpieces of the story, and that they are both on track to collide. As they draw nearer and their journeys beget staggering losses and sacrifices, they switch polarities and the daughter, once meek, challenges her warrior mother, who has pacified after a life of war and loss. And amid all this is a story about why the Earth, which is a living being, ragesâŚ
From Stephen's list on The best books that, low-key, are about revenge.
The name of the trilogy, Broken Earth, says it all for me. Reading through Jemisinâs descriptions of a fantastical world that is rocky, barren, and volatile engenders a sense of gratitude for the abundance and color of our own planet. The world-building is believable, her characters are rich and the magical mechanics that underwrite existence are creative and fascinating.
From Seth's list on The best fictional books about our place in nature.
