WOW!! I officially finished the Broken Earth Trilogy and Ms. Jemisin gave us soooo much in this last book. What an epic way to end a trilogy! I can’t wait to reread this series 🩷

Wonderful ending to the Broken Earth trilogy!! This novel delved deeply into the history of the stone eaters and answered all the questions brought up by previous entries in the series. All the major characters were explored in depth to the very end. I really don't have much to say. The Stone Sky is a satisfying and cathartic conclusion to a well-written series. If you've made it through to the second book in the series and enjoyed it, I really see no reason to stop now.

What a conclusion. I can't even really wrap up my thoughts throughout this trilogy other than excellent. All of the questions I had in the back of my head got answered - including the reason for the second person. And I loved it.

I had a nice long review of this, but then deleted it, so you just get this telling you to read it.
