MY REVIEW: If you are into sci-fi/fantasy at all, chances are you already know what this one is about, so I'll spare you going into that. If you've made it to book 3, chances are you already know if you're going to read this or not. So I probably don't need to convince you to read this.
Broken Earth is one of those very different trilogies. It's dystopian...but it's also a very character based SFF book. It's Jemisin, so it's beautifully written. There are so many great lines in this that are relevant. The ending is very powerful and give all sorts of feelings.
This is not a typical dystopian series. It's not action based. It's mostly character focused and it's a SFF book you have to pay attention too or you will miss important details. There's a good chance it won't be everyone's cup of tea. But it is mine and I have loved every minute of this trilogy. Once again, I'm reminded that I need to go back and read through Jemisin's other stuff.
WHO SHOULD READ: N.K. Jemisin fans, those that have read the first two books
MY RATING: Four out of Five tissue boxes for the ending
RATING FOR TRILOGY: Four and a half out of Five solid trilogies
Quotable writing from the book: "It doesn't matter what we do. The problem is them." pg 110
