I found myself utterly captivated by N.K. Jemisin’s “The Broken Earth Trilogy.” Set in a world wracked by apocalyptic climate shifts, it follows Essun, a woman with the power to control earth’s energy. Jemisin’s prose is lyrical yet raw, painting a vivid picture of a dying planet and the complex characters fighting to survive. I was particularly struck by the innovative narrative structure and the exploration of themes like oppression and motherhood. This series left me pondering long after I turned the final page.
Neither myths nor mysteries can hold a candle to the most infinitesimal spark of hope.
