The Stone Sky

What a great surprise this whole trilogy has been! A deeply humanistic story about broken families, traumas, loneliness, and coming of age stories (two). It starts as a seemingly fantasy novel to become sci-fi later. The author, throughout the book, shows us only the required minimum to understand the situations, so we are constantly in this mysterious place. It plays out great. I was really engulfed in the story and relationships between the characters. I am also really happy with the ending, which was dramatic, even stressful, but managed to tie all the strings together and not lean on trivialities.
