The Stone Sky

To be quite honest, I'm not sure how I feel about The Stone Sky. I finished reading, and then just kinda sat there, holding my Kindle. I think my first thought was, “Well, that's done.” I think maybe I feel kind of let down? There was no huge twist at the end (not all stories need to have one, but this one felt like there might be one coming), no OMG moments, nothing like that. Essun knew what she was setting out to do at the beginning of this book, and by the end she had accomplished what she wanted. Boom. Done.

Mostly I think, as a last book in a trilogy, The Stone Sky was anticlimactic. After building up this story for two books, and then getting to this one, it just felt a little flat. Most of the book was enjoyable, so a solid three stars from me.
