Description: N. K. Jemisin's outstanding BROKEN EARTH trilogy has broken records and boundaries, making her the only novelist to have won three Hugo awards in three consecutive years. This beautifully presented box set collects all three books for the the first time. Set in a world of volcanoes and earthquakes, where the power of the earth can be wielded and won, these remarkable novels of warring factions, twisted morals, an Earth shattered and a family torn apart, weave into a narrative both 'intricate and extraordinary' (New York Times). This box set is the perfect gift for fans of game-changing fantasy fiction. Book 1: THE FIFTH SEASON This is the way the world ends. for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's only continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal and long festering wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth can be used as a weapon. and where there is no mercy. Book 2: THE OBELISK GATE The Season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the long cold night. Essun has found shelter but not her missing daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request only Essun can grant. Book 3: THE STONE SKY The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has inherited the phenomenal power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter, Nassun, and forge a world in which every outcast child can grow up in safety. 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 the corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed. The fate of the world is balanced between a mother and her daughter. Waterstones The Broken Earth Trilogy: Box set edition - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Review: I don't remember the last one I went through a series of books so quickly and enthusiastically All the positive reviews already tell you everything you need to know, this is an amazing well thought out world, a brilliant writing style and fleshed out characters. A very rewarding read with hints of things to come hidden throughout. That being said I think there's things to consider for some people: A significant amount of this book series is written in second person, I read this is a hurdle for some This is not a sci fi series, but fantasy. If you're looking for hard sci fi this isn't it The second book drags, while I enjoyed reading it, I'll also admit almost nothing happens in it which bothers some readers more than myself. That being said, this absolutely worth reading beginning to end, even if you do find the second book to be a drag. The overall story told is satisfying and moving. This is a series that made be excited about reading books again.

Review: (Spoiler alert!) At the start of the trilogy there is great tension and excitement, with fabulous opportunities to create a really incredible fantasy saga, but it sadly trails off in the final book into a long, miserable and arduous journey for the protagonist that drags and makes the reader feel they are on an equally long and pointless journey with an ending which emphasises the pointlessness of the main character’s life. There are some absolutely fantastic chapters in this trilogy but I felt the complex and ultimately heroic protagonist deserved a better end than she received.
