About this listen

Humanity will finally be saved or destroyed in the shattering conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed NYT best-selling trilogy that won the Hugo Award three years in a row.

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.

Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day


When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

A captivating, touching, and thought provoking conclusion to one of the best sci fi sagas of all time.

Wonderful narration by Robin Miles for this and the other books in the series.

Awe-inspiring storytelling

The Stone Sky brings the Broken Earth series to a close with the raw power of an earth shattering earthquake. Never letting the incredible pace slow, N.K. Jemisin weaves a journey through the discovery of so much, uncovering the history of her world piece by piece so that in the end we are left to marvel at its masterpiece.

I was enraptured from the start, Robin Miles produces another amazing performance, giving life to every character in the book. An ending to a trilogy that gives all you could hope it would offer and more. This book is a masterwork in world building and story telling, an adventure of a lifetime.

Jemisin fan convert!

this was a truly great trilogy with both epic magic and heart wrenching emotional journies. Narrator was quite good as well. there were half a dozen or so glitches in the recording where there were repeats which is sloppy editing by the publisher.

as great as the first

this was another great one to listen to. interesting conclusion as it's really not that concluded. also there's so many questions about this world still left unanswered. I found the entire series fascinating but confusing. I can't tell if this is supposed to take place on a planet like ours and it distant future or if this is some other world entirely nor did I understand how all of the factions of people relate. there's a lot of backstory that I feel like I'm missing from the series or maybe that I just didn't catch on to buy I enjoyed it.
