dae_as's review against another edition
Should have read the content warnings before I picked it up. It just has way too many things that aren't for me.

Finished this back in July as a buddy read with Danni! Since then, we completed the series in its entirety and had so much fun. Of the three books in the Broken Earth Trilogy, this one is my favorite. NK Jemisin does a great job interweaving multiple perspectives from characters in very different environments and at different places in their lives...all while the world is literally shaking and crumbling around them.
If you are considering this series, but you are either on the fence or feeling a bit intimidated (because it IS a complex series), my advice is as follows: FIND A BUDDY. It's always more fun to enter a book in pairs anyway :)
