I read this for the "An Author Who Uses Initials" part of my 2019 reading challenge. Most of the book was a solid 3/5, I found the characters a little hard to keep track of and the new terms and language took some getting used to. I love Geology but also had a hard time believing this world, and I was surprised I didn't like it as much as I expected to. The last 1/4 of the book was a 3.5, I liked the surprises and how the story came together. ( ) Holy crap that was good! THis book was a labyrinth. A slow, wandering, desperate, sad and exciting look into a dystopia that was truly frightening. I really don't have the words for this one. It was completely unexpected and I just....wow. I consider myself truly lucky to have stumbled on Ms Jemisin. So, so good. I recommend to anyone that loves fantasy. In addition, the narration by Robin Miles was superb. She was perfection. I don't enjoy dystopias or apocalypse stories, so this is pretty far outside my usual. I enjoyed it to the extent it was like sci fi rather than fantasy: * Lots of geology! Lots and lots of geology!! Deciphering their technobabble was honestly one of my favorite parts of the book. * Lots of thinking about different ways a society can be organized with respect to its orogene citizens. Although... the thesis that the nicest societies (e.g. the island) are the ones where you just let the people with inborn power be in charge of everything is questionable, and I hope it'll be complicated more in the next books. The fantasy parts I wasn't as impressed with include the Chosen One-ness of Alabaster and Syenite and some of the less justified biology, like the herbivorous/carnivorous pets with the long fantasy name and everything to do with stone eaters (so far, although again, maybe it'll be addressed more in a subsequent book). I am a big fan of the trans woman character and I kind of identify with her approach to life, lol. The writing was mechanically very good; I guess it's considered a spoiler that THIS BOOK IS ENTIRELY MADE OF UPSETTING AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING CONTENT, TREAD WITH CAUTION. Ingår i serienThe Broken Earth (1)
Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, masquerading as an ordinary schoolteacher in a quiet small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Mighty Sanze, the empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a thousand years, collapses as its greatest city is destroyed by a madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heartland of the world's sole continent, a great red rift has been torn which spews ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries. But this is the Stillness, a land long familiar with struggle, and where orogenes -- those who wield the power of the earth as a weapon -- are feared far more than the long cold night. Essun has remembered herself, and she will have her daughter back. She does not care if the world falls apart around her. Essun will break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter.
