Publisher's Summary

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.

Listen and be transported to a meticulously built world that serves as a dire warning about the dangers of prejudice and power." (AudioFile)

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.

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.

Fitting Ending to the Trilogy

This book is very well-written. Jemisin has created a rich, interesting setting...a world as complicated as Middle Earth...if Tolkien was a Sociologist.
Relations between people are integral to the mystical/apocalyptic plot. It has an interesting structure, follows three plotlines (two of which are adventurous quests), eventually bringing them together with an interesting climax. Thought-provoking and entertaining.

This book is completely unable to stand alone. Without Books 1&2, the story makes no sense. But the story is a good one if you invest the time. A little heavy on the social structures and the mystical, but good.

Robin Myles does a decent job reading.

4 stars out of 5.
