The incredible conclusion to the record-breaking triple Hugo award-winning trilogy that began with the The Fifth Season.
The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women.
Essun has inherited the phenomenal power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every outcast child can grow up safe.
For Nassun, her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world, and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed.

Same vibe and depth as the previous books, but better.
Best one of the series.

The literary mastery of this series puts Jemisin on a level with the likes of Ursula LeGuin, Doris Lessing and Octavia E Butler. I am eagerly awaiting her next work.
The narrator did an excellent job on almost all of the characters, though Shaffa's accent slipped and slid somewhat between Scottish and other Rural British accents, it wasn't overwhelmingly distracting. Her voice and delivery was so delightfully smooth that it was a pleasure to listen to.
Top level story telling.

I read a physical copy of The Fifth Season and listened to the audio versions of The Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky. The first book was definitely my favourite. Maybe it was the format, or maybe I just really connected with Syenite and Alabaster’s storyline—I couldn’t stop talking about them (my kid can confirm 😅). The story was full of twists, and I was hooked from the start.
The last two were still excellent, but listening to them felt long at times (the final book is over 10 hours). I think it had more to do with me and the way I was listening than the writing itself—Jemisin’s world-building and storytelling are phenomenal throughout.
Overall, a fantastic series. If I dip into fantasy again, N.K. Jemisin will definitely be at the top of my list.
Amazing Story!
