The cover of this book says that it's "intricate and extraordinary" and those are two of the best words to describe this book and this series.
Normally I'm not one for books where I have to work so hard to get a grasp of what's going on, but N.K. Jemisin earned my trust ever since The Fifth Season and I was so here to put in the work.
And it was worth it! This is definitely a series I need to reread now that I have much clearer idea of what's what.
If you're curious about this series, love challenging books and science fiction, and want to disappear into a novel, ingenious world, with a unique magic system, then I highly recommend The Broken Earth trilogy.

Wow, what an end! Okay, it wasn't perfect, but it really brought everything together brilliantly. I don't know that there's anything unique to add for this book that I didn't have in the previous reviews. What made this one that little bit better was having more of the history and world building expanded.
