“When we say 'the world has ended,' it’s usually a lie, because the planet is just fine. But this is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
This is the way the world ends.
For the last time.”


Compelling characters and stunning worldbuilding wrapped up in a package of immersive storytelling- Jemisin has crafted a unique, brilliant and horrifying world with an amazing set of characters, whose stories are brimming with emotion.
Truly one of the most clever, engaging and well-written fantasy stories I have read in a while.
