The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin

2.0

This was a big step down from the previous two books. There was already a perfectly well-done morality tale naturally woven throughout the main plot, so I don't know why we needed to be sledgehammered with a second one as the backstory is finally revealed. The conflict between the two main characters escalated to lethal levels ridiculously quickly. Also, I was expecting a technological explanation for the Evil Earth and orogeny after all the hints in that direction. But I guess it's all just several different overlapping kinds of magic. And how/why/what is the relationship between the Earth and the Moon? Could have been better.
