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.

A Good Series, A Good Ending

I can walk away from this one feeling largely satisfied. There is the twinge of wanting more--but that in itself speaks to a level of satisfaction. I would like the story to continue... But I'm okay stopping here too.

I don't think either of the last books will ever be able to match the first book in terms of pure artistry. There are aspects of the world building introduced in Book 2 that I wasn't a huge fan of, and that carries into this book as well. But this one is where all the questions get answered, and I can't rate it any less for satisfactorily answering them.
