The detached, ironic, omnipresent and slightly snarky narration in the prologue is quite something, and gives the whole book a distinct feel. Also the mother of the dead boy, Essun, is narrated in a you voice, quite something to get to used to. Mason, Everdeen (August 4, 2017). "Best science fiction and fantasy books in August".

Though I read each book individually, I will leave my review here, as an overall impression of the series.

Occasionally in my nonfiction reading over the years, I’d encountered the word orogeny — always (I think) capitalized in such phrases as the Andean Orogeny and the Alpine Orogeny. I’d never bothered to look up a definition, because (a) it obviously had something to do with mountains, and/or with geologic ages associated with them, and (b) I’d just, well, never encountered it often enough to be more curious about it. (So many words, so little time.) After all, I did get the whole continental-drift, plate-tectonics thing; I’d read plenty about the general concepts. (Among other things, I’d read, and loved, the entirety of John McPhee’s five-book series collectively called Annals of the Former World, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1999. The word orogeny makes dozens of appearances therein.) When the body of controversial talk-show host Walton Weeks is discovered hanging from a tree on the outskirts of Paradise, police chief Jesse Stone finds himself at the center of a highly public case. Which forces him to deal with small-minded local officials and national media scrutiny. When another dead body – that of a young woman – is discovered just a few days later, the pressure becomes almost unbearable. Jesse Stone is a former professional baseball player whose career abruptly ended after an injury to his shoulder rendered him unable to play. Initially, the series was continued by his good friend and fellow author Michael Brandman. Then, in 2014, popular crime fiction writer Reed Farrel Coleman took over the continuation, followed by author Mike Lupica in 2020. Rowling, J.K.; Wilson, A. (2004).

As with the other books in the Broken Earth series, The Stone Sky is mostly set in a single supercontinent referred to as the Stillness by its inhabitants.

Of course, dermal mites don’t (as we understand them) have anything like conscious intent — even less so, the bacteria they carry. But imagine, if you will, that these tiny creatures are conscious enough at least to know that they can get something from human beings that they can get nowhere else — something needed not just to survive, but to flourish. Imagine that they have evolved and are shrewd enough to learn that they can pull even more of this something from us than is available merely on the surface. Imagine the horror when a human host discovers this, begins swatting at its face, douses itself with pharmaceutical and cosmetic substances, trains lasers at itself…

Books 2 and 3 were also good, though I think the best book in the trilogy was the first book. I think I had become used to Jemisin's style after the first book, so the style of writing didn't seem as--pardon the pun--earth shattering as Book 1. Writers on education and business subjects have used the book as an object lesson. Writing about clinical teaching in medical schools, Jennifer Conn contrasted Snape's technical expertise with his intimidating behaviour towards students. Quidditch coach Madam Hooch on the other hand, illustrated useful techniques in the teaching of physical skills, including breaking down complex actions into sequences of simple ones and helping students to avoid common errors. [93] Joyce Fields wrote that the books illustrate four of the five main topics in a typical first-year sociology class: "sociological concepts including culture, society, and socialisation; stratification and social inequality; social institutions; and social theory". [55] A newspaper report later describes an attempted robbery at the same vault in Gringotts from which Hagrid retrieved an item for Hogwarts' headmaster Albus Dumbledore on the same day. The object beneath the trapdoor is the philosopher's stone, which grants its user immortality and the ability to turn any metal into pure gold. Firenze, a forest centaur, warns Harry that Voldemort is plotting to steal the stone to restore his body. When Dumbledore is lured from Hogwarts under false pretences, Harry, Hermione, and Ron fear the theft is imminent and descend through the trapdoor.The climax of the trilogy--the penultimate chapter of Book 3--was one of the better final scenes I've read in a fantasy/speculative fiction novel in quite some time.
