#16: N.K. Jemisin, The Stone Sky (Broken Earth #3)

I was pleasantly surprised that the conclusion of this trilogy included the origin story of the central conflict - I wasn't expecting that, since it happened before the world's recorded history. The final confrontation felt like it was over too quickly, after journeys that felt too long and pointless. But that said, I was satisfied with the ending. Overall, the scope and themes reminded me of Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy, if it had also been infused with rage against an unjust society.

Hmmm interesting last sentence! I liked the mistborn series and now I’m curious about this one.

You should give it a try! I haven't read anything else quite like it, which is probably why it won the Hugo award.

This is a pretty good review but it has a lot of spoilers...
