Ngl.....I was almost starting to believe the hype that "The Fifth Season" was gonna be as good as it gets in this series/trilogy while reading The Stone Sky, but my girl bought it on home & landed the plane
I didn't think I'd ever get thru the first 100 or so pgs but a nicca powered thru like a true orogene & got to da good shyt
At one point, in some of the prelude chapters, I was gettin' heavy Matrix, Alien/Prometheus vibes, in a good way. And of course, the parallels running along slavery was telegraphed long ago in the 1st book but she unpacked it & layered it here nicely.
