Compared with the two other books, it has the most dramatic visual landscape. When you stop to picture and imagine the scenes, they are truly spectacular. The pace is, to my taste, the slowest of the three, except for the end, where things unfold spectacularly. It feels a bit more plot-driven (sweating up the majestic ending) than character-driven. The themes like racism reach another level with the author revisiting a prehistoric genocide. Only thing I did not like is that the story dragged a bit by introducing many new backstory. By doing so, I feel like it left more hanging threads than resolved. The end does not really answer all of these. All in all, the whole trilogy is a rich and deep read. The narration (“you”) which I though might be a literary gadget takes all its meaning within the story. Summary: In the epic conclusion to the Broken Earth trilogy, Essun, Nassun, and the fractured world of the Stillness stand on the brink of annihilation. As the Earth trembles with the weight of ancient secrets and cataclysmic power, mother and daughter must confront their destinies and the truths that bind them to the fate of their world.

It was refreshing to be offered a series where the main character was over 40, had kids and had already lived a full range of experiences. This is the second series that I've read by Jemisin and as much as I loved the 1st one (The Inheritance Trilogy), this was even better. I hope it doesn't sound pompous, but you can see more maturity in both the writing and the story-line.
The audio-book narrator, Robin Miles, is headed to the top of my narrator list. She can add everything from an African to a Gaelic? to a Slavic accent without sounding fake. It really brings the characters to life in a nice way.
I'm sure I'll still be re-reading this series decades from now. It's easy to see why Jemisin won the Hugo back to back on this one.
