🎧/📱 Bone of My Bone was dark, disgusting, and medieval! I was so excited to read lore about creatures I had never heard about! Veen did it again and I could not put this book down! I was nervous to read this so close to reading Blood on Her Tongue but apart from exceptional writing the books are nothing alike. This book was everything I expected from Between Two Fires and more! "With this novel, I am not trying to make grand sweeping statements about Christianity, on whether it is good or bad, harmful or useful; rather, I wish to explore in a nuanced and sensitive matter what might happen to people with strong religious convictions when they encounter one horror after another." I believe Veen did exactly what she set out to do! Amy Noble, the audiobook narrator, was astounding! Each character was brought to life with their own voice and I loved listening to their performance!

the end of a complex story, brimmed with identity, humanity, history, consequence, and a call to action for our own world before it ends.

The Stone Sky is an articulate conversation that approaches overarching themes in a dystopian world that feels, at times, almost too real, with the readers' discomfort being the point. while NK Jemisin answers many questions in this finale, there is much left to ponder and feel unsettled in its authentic, purposely messy end.

NK Jemisin's writing is captivating, lyrical, and leaves you one step behind to make the punches hit harder. A highly recommended trilogy for a reason.
