THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS... FOR THE LAST TIME.
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.
The remarkable conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed trilogy that began with the multi-award-nominated The Fifth Season.

Great story. Ended stronger than it started which was great. I found the first and second person switching to be fatiguing and didn't appreciate that approach to storing telling for this particular story.
Characters were fairly well developed and the story was fleshed out enough to not have any annoying holes. It was exceptionally well written and the cadence of writing married well with the content making it easy to comprehend.
In the end it isn't something I would re-read, but I very much enjoyed reading it once.

I had two write a whole Journal entry to process that I finished this book. There is so much in this trilogy. It is in every way perfection. What a worthwhile, intense and emotional journey. What a beautiful mind that crafted this story. I am in awe (and also totally devastated and will randomly start crying throughout the day when I remember the end)
