fairly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, fills in the crazy backstory (and relevant societal themes) to the whole thing

4 stars

I didn't find this concluding novel as absorbing as the first two books, but it masterfully pulls everything together in the same wait-who's-talking-now interleaving of viewpoints and timelines, and simulateneously presents themes that seem both on the nose and how did she come up with this epic narrative? And it ends (is it an end?) on some serious emotional notes.

Review of 'The Stone Sky' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is the first series (a trilogy) I finish in a very long time. Leverang a longer than usual time off, also away from computers and TVs, I enjoyed reading The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, and finally back at home, The Stone Sky. This a story about motherhood mostly, and love. I like how well rounded the story is concluded, only at the last paragraphs fully understanding the way the full story is displayed.
