THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME.

The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women.

Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring. With it, she hopes to find her daughter Nassun and forge a world in which every orogene child can grow up safe.

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 what is corrupt cannot be cleansed, only destroyed.

The remarkable conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed trilogy that began with the multi-award-nominated The Fifth Season.

fairly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, fills in the crazy backstory (and relevant societal themes) to the whole thing

4 étoiles

I didn't find this concluding novel as absorbing as the first two books, but it masterfully pulls everything together in the same wait-who's-talking-now interleaving of viewpoints and timelines, and simulateneously presents themes that seem both on the nose and how did she come up with this epic narrative? And it ends (is it an end?) on some serious emotional notes.
