Broken Earth #1
Adult Fantasy
This is book 1 of a trilogy. It is not action packed but very intriguing and thought provoking. There is a lot of the book I spent trying to figure out who was who and what was going on. The world has ended (again). Even in the end I'm left wondering.
It is hard to really say much more about the book without giving things away. If you like an interesting world build and thinking about what you are reading. Pick it up.
In the end it is intriguing enough for me to want to find out more about this world and what is happening with it.
