5.0

This entire series is (and pls excuse my pun) as earth-shattering, as groundbreaking as everyone has said it is. Jemisin's world is not a kind one, and her characters have been made hard because of that. But Essun and Nassun's epic rivals that of any classical or moder hero. Add to that the sharp eye with which Jemisin connects the endlessly imaginative lore of her world to our own, and her insistent belief that—no matter how drastic—the wrongs of the past can still be set right, and you have a damn good trilogy on your hands.
