THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME.
The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women.
Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene child can grow up safe.
For Nassun, her mother's mastery of the Obelisk Gate comes too late. She has seen the evil of the world, and accepted what her mother will not admit: that sometimes what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed.
The remarkable conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed trilogy that began with the multi-award-nominated The Fifth Season.
I enjoyed the trilogy, but didn't find it particularly outstanding overall.
Una conclusión muy buena para esta excelente trilogía. En lo personal me harté de un par de personajes por sus decisiones y su forma de comportarse, y aunque me puso muy triste la forma en que la historia de Essun termina, me pareció apropiada. En general, una increíble historia con un potente mensaje, excelentemente escrita. Jemisin se ha convertido en una de mis autoras contemporáneas favoritas.
impressively concluded, marred only by surprisingly hokey dialog in the final scenes.
