The Stone Sky
notes
im generally avoiding series for various reasons.
unfortunately I started this series not fully understanding it was a trilogy till it was too late.
I happily read it to the very last drop with no disappointment.
a beautiful and tragic and reasonable world, I enjoyed my camping with evil earth.

summary
The Stone Sky is the third volume in the Broken Earth series. Essun awakens to find her arm turned to stone and that the Moon is approaching the closest point in its elliptical orbit. Meanwhile, Essun's daughter Nassun resolves to use the Obelisk Gate to cause the approaching Moon to collide with Earth. Essun arrives and attempts to seize control of the Gate using the central control obelisk in order to return the Moon to orbit, end the Seasons, and save Nassun from certain death. Essun gives up allowing her daughter to complete her task, rather than risk Nassun's destruction. She releases control of the Gate and is completely turned to stone. Nassun, moved by the sight, decides to complete her mother's task and use the Gate to return the Moon to orbit.
