Damn, I really slept on the #BrokenEarth trilogy by N.K Jemisin. I flew through the first book (the audiobook was A+) and am now listening to #Legendborn by Tracy Deonn while I wait for my hold on the second book to come in.
A dynamic, painterly scene captures a warrior mid-charge, frozen in the instant his armored boots smash into the ground. Debris erupts upward in a radiant spray of dust, stone, and golden sparks. The figure wears weathered armor layered with vivid blue fabric that trails behind him in tattered streamers, each strand dissolving into energetic brushstrokes. His helmet is rounded and reinforced, adorned with curved, hornlike extensions that sweep backward. The warrior’s posture leans forward with fierce intent, one arm extended behind him gripping a long weapon, while the other draws inward toward his torso as though he is bracing for a strike. The surrounding environment blurs into pale, smoky tones, with only faint, indistinct shapes of buildings or structures lingering in the background. The entire image feels caught in a violent instant, every motion expressed through streaked textures and explosive fragments that give the impression of unstoppable momentum carved from dust and light.

A lone warrior bursts through dust and debris, blue armor tearing the air as if the world is splitting around him.

As I read so many fantasy books with barely adult women as protagonists (and yes, I know Elyn is pretty young) I appreciate the Broken Earth series more and more for giving us a fully adult female heroine.

Hey everyone! I just posted a #brokenearth #nassun character study. It's called How to Inherit the End of the World. Go check it out!

But also say it’s likely human impacts on the planet have been creating more volatility, still attributing responsibility to the moon. Are we starting down the path of the Obelisk Gate? #brokenearth #nkjemison
4/4
Something tells me that author NK Jemisin wouldn’t have it any other way.
8/10.
Also, posting these from Scotland, in the last full day as a bachelor. What a time. 🏴👰♀️🤵♂️

Also book 2 of the broken earth trilogy was not as good as the first🥲 I’m way more confused now then I was after the first !! #brokenearth #booksky
Yes, I'm very late to the party here, but fuck it, there are no rules with this kind of thing #nkjemisin #brokenearth #booksky
Perhaps the relationship between Orogenes and the Earth, and the magic ability that Orogenes possess to both save or doom the planet, represents where we as a society find ourselves today: at the precipice of extreme, irreversible, damage to our planet. Despite imminent climate change, we as a people appear to only be stepping on the gas, rather than the brakes, in the ways we are continuing to release carbon into the atmosphere and warm the planet. Acknowledging this is the first step to stopping it. Jemisin tells us this in her third Hugo acceptance speech. Acknowledging is key, and as a writer she states ‘I look to science fiction and fantasy as the aspirational drive of the Zeitgeist: we creators are the engineers of possibility. And as this genre finally, however grudgingly, acknowledges that the dreams of the marginalized matter and that all of us have a future, so will go the world. (Soon, I hope.)’ This is a hopeful statement, and one full of purpose. Jemisin’s work makes clear what it is that is happening around us, as we here with our blinders of privilege may miss. She is also cheering us on as we find other ways to fulfill our purpose: as we make change. There are ways of pushing back against the seemingly unstoppable boulder that is climate change and the injustice that is metaphorically barreling down a mountain towards us. Identifying and shutting down systems of oppression is a good start. Striking fear into the hearts of colonisers is perhaps even better.
Here’s the closing paragraph of a piece of mine being published this year on #NKJemisin ‘s #BrokenEarth :

Finished the The Obelisk Gate book 2 of the #BrokenEarth trilogy. It pops off towards the end. Really enjoy it. The slow reveals that, as they unfold, make you feel more familiar with the world is clever.
I finished The Stone Sky by @nkjemisin.bsky.social. I might need a few days to recover. If you have not read The #brokenearth trilogy, you must.
Book two of the #BrokenEarth trilogy is wild. I'm learning so much about the world and it's resulting in so many more questions and, "Huh, ok, so what does that mean ultimately?" But in a good way.
4/4 We finish strong and tempestuously. The cliff ledge where we find ourselves commands us forward to learn what lays in the depths of the bedrock below. This trilogy is sizzling.
9/10

Robin Miles, my favorite audiobook narrator. First encountered her with the #BrokenEarth trilogy, then #HiddenFigures. Now I'm starting #TheCityWeBecame and then #TheWorldWeMake. (And 5 of those 6 are written by N K Jemisin.)
