Now I will never understand Motherhood since Im a gay man but what I can understand is the act of taking on hardships that came your way and make sure that your survive and still be you and prioritizing your needs will never bea bad thing. This book encapsulates that idea and some others as well and is what I love from the wholw trilogy as well. Essun the Woman that you are, I hope that I can have your strength and perseverance someday. 

??? I feel like a lot of this series I just had to accept that I didn’t understand what was happening. Perhaps reading instead of audio would have been better. Story was unique and intriguing. I didn’t connect with the characters. I didn’t understand Nassun’s motivation. I didn’t comprehend all the races (species?) conflicts. More importantly, I don’t care that I don’t understand
Series started well and fizzed out for me

Ok this was my favorite book of the trilogy. I have to admit that I did not know or understand what was happening for like 25% of the book. The writing was sometimes confusing or maybe I am simply dumb. But I still loved it
