The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin

5.0

This is just stellar story telling. This is a world that feels so real. There just keeps being more layers to it. I love the sense of time she gives this world. Everyone knows that others came before them and were destroyed. The wreckage of past ages come and gone are always on the horizon.

It's a harsh world and quite often so are the people. They just feel real. There's complexity to them. You can find everything; good, bad, heroic, funny, brittle, sad, caring.

I love the scope of the story. I love the writing. I love the characters. I love the way she writes. When I started the second book in this trilogy, I had this feeling that I'd made it home after a long time away. Her style is just that distinctive and engaging.

With this book, I reached a point where it was just a compulsion to read through to the end. I'm going to be recommending this series till the end of time.
