Final novel in the Broken Earth trilogy. A world with extreme geological instability, wracked by frequent extinction events. The people of this planet have learned to survive as best they can, and to blame their lot on father earth and the Orogenes - people born with the ability to control rocks and subdue earthquakes. The series follows Essun and her daughter Nassun - powerful Orogenes who must decide whether to save a planet full of peope who would subjugate and murder them.

These books are so powerfully written, full of characters in difficult situations who aren’t always like-able in their every reaction, but are always complex and full of interiority. I would recommend anything by Jemisin.
