THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS . . . FOR THE LAST TIME.

IT STARTS WITH THE GREAT RED RIFT across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun.
IT STARTS WITH DEATH, with a murdered son and a missing daughter.
IT STARTS WITH BETRAYAL, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester.

This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

Transformative

Fascinating. Masterful. Modern. Timely. First in series, it’s worth immersing oneself in Jemison’s deceptively simple yet masterful creation. The initial slow burn gives way to the ultimate realisation mid-way that your mind’s been blown apart, then re-shaped. Complex concepts, ethical dilemmas, and motives are woven together with stunning results. Recommended!

Fantastic trilogy

What an incredible time I have had reading this trilogy! These books took me to another world which was entirely original and unlike anywhere literature had taken me before. Highly recommend!

In two minds

Some parts of this story were amazing and riveting and then there was the other extreme where it seemed to lose direction and pace. The second half seemed so different to the first that it was almost like a different writer but the same characters, and it lost the emotional intensity the first half had and the character connection. It ended rather abruptly and left me a bit cranky.
