K. Jemisin's incredible NYT bestselling and three-time Hugo award-winning Broken Earth Trilogy. This complete collection would be a great gift for any occasion and includes The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, and The Stone Sky. This is the way the world ends for the last time. . . A season of endings has begun. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole 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 dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy. Review: It really will exceed expectations if you give it the chance. - Alright, so, I got this trilogy on audible about a year ago on a crazy sale. I believe each title in the trilogy cost about 4usd at the time. AND each of them had the HUGO, so I figured, even if I don't get to them now, they should absolutely be worthy of the purchase. I just recently picked up the physical to add to my favorites collection alongside the Space Odyssey series, the Hyperion/Endymion series, The Rama series, The Scythe series, Imajica ect. I tend to do this, Ill buy audiobooks, and when they sufficiently please me I must own the physicals. Typically I tend to lean more towards the Sci-fi genre over fantasy, but I do enjoy a good fantasy. Though I do lean towards the darker side of this, with things like Weaveworld, Imajica, the Art trilogy, so this was a bit outside of my typical. I will start by saying, when I first started The Fifth Season, I got about 1.5 to 2 hours into it, and, surprisingly, hated it. Well, I'm not sure hate is the right word, but I was very much unimpressed and put this series on my back burner for over a year. About a month ago I pretty much dried up my library in audible, so I decided to give this series another chance. I mean, it couldn't have won all this praise for nothing right? What a good call. Once I got past that initial hump in the beginning, I couldn't stop. I cleared the first title in literally 4 days at work. I was in. I wont go into any spoilers or try and describe what happens in the books, as it would, 1. ruin it for you, and 2. not be able to do justice enough to it to justify point 1. At the end of book 1 I waited exactly zero minutes to start 2. Loved every second of it. And again, zero minute cool down between book 2 end and starting 3. Book 3 answers just about every question the series leaves you asking. I couldn't be more satisfied. I will say, from some of the negative reviews, I can understand where a lot of them are coming from. ESPECIALLY if you didn't give the series a chance, read the first 50 pages and decided you hated it. I was right there with you. But trust me, its so much more than they gave it credit for. I can understand where some might read into the "agenda" that the author is trying to "push" as overly aggressive with the racial overtones, and the powerful female protagonist aspects being heavy handed. I get why at face value it would seem like something you'd roll your eyes at. BUT, its not that at all. I am a 32 year old heterosexual white male and BOY if you can get over that initial feeling of some kind of PC propaganda, you'll see that these parts of the story are anything but superficial and are so integral to the story that no matter how much you might want to roll your eyes at first, YOU'LL GET OVER IT. And it rewards your time with such a deep story and amazing characters you'll be mad at yourself for being so quick to judge it as something its not. I will say, hands down, this will be in my top 5 for book series for decades to come. I cant even imagine the possibility of something coming along anytime soon that would surpass this for me. I was so anxious to learn more and see into the past with this series. I listened at work. I listened at the gym. I listened at home cooking dinner. This series is a 10/10 and you owe it to yourself to get lost in this world. Review: Great books at a bargain price - An excellent series that I somehow missed when it came out 10 years ago. I had intended to check out the first book but decided to get all three based on the price (and the awards they won). So far, I've just read the first one but can tell they are winners. The strange world building is unlike anything I've read before, and I look forward to seeing how it develops. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,675 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in Dystopian Fiction (Books) #185 in Action & Adventure Fantasy (Books) #204 in Fantasy Action & Adventure | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,855 Reviews | ## Images ![The Broken Earth Trilogy: The Fifth Season, The Obelisk Gate, The Stone Sky - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91JSBdkdw+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It really will exceed expectations if you give it the chance. *by M***S on June 10, 2022* Alright, so, I got this trilogy on audible about a year ago on a crazy sale.
