Those familiar with Stephenson will recognize his humor and ideas, while Galland (author of “Stepdog,” “Crossed” and others) brings a fresh and irresistible voice to this ambitious novel. “The Stone Sky” is the finale of Jemisin’s much-lauded “Broken Earth” trilogy. Our reluctant heroine, Essun, is still searching for her missing daughter in the Stillness but feels responsible for the community that she saved - yet partially destroyed - with her orogeny, the ability to harness the energy of the Earth. Meanwhile, we finally get to know our narrator, the mysterious stone eater Hoa, and how he came to be. Essun, Hoa and Essun’s daughter, Nassun, have been shaped in different ways by the racist caste system that rules their world.
Jemisin uses her fictional Earth to more clearly define the repercussions of slavery and genocide on not only humans but also the Earth itself.
