What can I say about this series? That it is the best speculative trilogy I’ve ever read? It is. That it moved me to tears? Also true. That when I think of the complex world building and even more complex characters my breath gets taken away? Yes, that’s true too. This series... is genre altering. I know that kind of thing gets thrown around a lot but I have read nothing, ever, like this. It’s captivating and rich. It’s simple and yet complex. There is no one who writes like this except Jemisin. There is no other book on earth like The Broken Earth series.
