The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin
3.5
challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Again wonderfully written from a craft perspective. Easily the least tear-inducing of the trilogy.
That being said, I did wonder how the conclusion of "maybe we shouldn't murder literally all humans" was the most optimistic part of the series.
I still had to force myself to get through all the darkness in this series. I'm glad I had the experience of reading it, but I immediately removed them from my house afterward so I'm not visually reminded of how dark a view of humanity these books have. I'm pessimistic enough by myself without the help!
