The Stone Sky: 3 (The Broken Earth, 3) - Softcover

"Intricate and extraordinary."--New York Times on The Fifth Season

"[A]n ambitious book, with a shifting point of view, and a protagonist whose full complexity doesn't become apparent till toward the end... Jemisin's work itself is part of a slow but definite change in sci-fi and fantasy."--Guardian on The Fifth Season

"Astounding... Jemisin maintains a gripping voice and an emotional core that not only carries the story through its complicated setting, but sets things up for even more staggering revelations to come."--NPR Books on The Fifth Season

"Jemisin's graceful prose and gritty setting provide the perfect backdrop for this fascinating tale of determined characters fighting to save a doomed world."--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on The Fifth Season

"A must-buy...breaks uncharted ground."--Library Journal (Starred review) on The Fifth Season

"Jemisin might just be the best world builder out there right now.... [She] is a master at what she does."--RT Book Reviews (Top Pick!) on The Fifth Season

"Stunning and well constructed ... a book that imbues itself with deeper meaning the more it unfolds and reveals itself, and by the end, I saw everything in a new light. I knew Jemisin was talented, being a huge fan of her Inheritance and Dreamblood books, but here she employs heretofore unseen skills."--Lightspeed on The Fifth Season

"Brilliant...gorgeous writing and unexpected plot twists."--Washington Post

"One of the most celebrated new voices in epic fantasy."--Salon.com

"Jemisin deliberately refuses to provide easy answers: they're simply not available, in this world or ours. Painful and powerful."--Kirkus (starred review)

Humanity will finally be saved or destroyed in the shattering conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed NYT bestselling trilogy that won the Hugo Award three years in a row.
The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women.
Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene 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.
This is the way the world ends... for the last time.
