Damn! All the Answers I Wanted, and an Ending That Fits Perfectly with the Tone of the Series

The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin

October 15, 2018 by Jen K Leave a Comment

Bingo Square (Round 2): This is the End In this final Hugo Award winning novel of The Broken Earth trilogy, Jemisin finally takes us back to the Shattering, the beginning of the Seasons and explains exactly how the world as Essun and Nassun know it came into being. There have already been many reviews singing the praises of this trilogy so I am going to keep it short and basic. Hoa has been the narrator throughout the trilogy but in this one, he finally narrates his […]

For now, I will say that I was happy with the ending because it […]

There’s more than one way to be human

The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin

November 7, 2017 by ElCicco 3 Comments

A year ago at this time, in the wake of our devastating presidential election, I reviewed Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me and James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time, two treatises on racism and oppression in America. As I read N.K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth Trilogy, it occurred to me that her novels present a perfect fictional account of the same topic. These Hugo-Award-winning stories take place in a world where racial difference leads to oppression, exploitation, and genocide. As a result of this […]

  • Emmalita on “I should just follow you clowns around…Find all the trouble in the galaxy that way…”It’s very good, but it’s the second book in the series. Shards of Earth is the first book.
